The 2023 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship bracket was announced on Monday, with Wake Forest earning the top overall seed.
The biggest surprise team in the bracket could be Tulane University, who after finishing the regular season with a win-loss record of 19-40, went 4-1 in the American Athletic Conference, and upset East Carolina University 8-6 in the championship game on Sunday, May 28. The win gave them an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
Vanderbilt maintains the longest active streak of consecutive appearances in the tournament, with 17. Florida will make a 15th consecutive appearance, and Oklahoma State will make their 10th straight.
The 2023 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship will begin on Friday, June 2, and the College World Series final championship game will be played on Monday, June 26 if a third game is necessary.
