The 2019 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was a tournament of 64-teams to determine the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I national champion for the 2019 season. The 73rd annual edition of the tournament began on May 31, 2019, and concluded with the 2019 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which started on June 15 and ended on June 26. [1]

Contents

Summit League champion Omaha made their first appearance in the tournament.

As a result of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic that started in late 2019 and subsequently forced the cancellation of the remainder of the 2020 season and tournament, this would be the last tournament held until 2021.

Tournament procedure

A total of 64 teams entered the 2019 tournament. 31 automatic bids were awarded to each program that won their conference's tournament or regular season. The remaining 33 bids were "at-large", with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.

The Selection Committee seeded the national seeds from 1 to 16, each of whom would host their respective regional.

The selections and seedings were completed and revealed on Monday, May 27, 2019, at 12 p.m. EDT on ESPNU.

All qualifying teams were placed into 16 regional double-elimination brackets of four teams. The winners of each regional advanced to a Super Regional in a best-of-three format to advance to the College World Series.

Media coverage

Radio

NRG Media provided nationwide radio coverage of the College World Series through its Omaha Station KOZN, in association with Westwood One. It also streamed all CWS games at westwoodonesports.com on Tunein and on SiriusXM. Kevin Kugler and John Bishop called games leading up to the Championship Series with Gary Sharp acting as the field reporter. The Championship Series was called by Kugler and Scott Graham with Bishop acting as the field reporter.

Kugler lost his voice after the games on June 16, so Jeff Leise (afternoon) and Damon Benning (evening) joined Bishop and Sharp on Westwood One for the games on June 17, 18, and 19 before Kugler returned on the night of the 19.

Television

ESPN carried every game from the Regionals, Super Regionals, and the College World Series across its networks. During the Regionals and Super Regionals, ESPN offered a dedicated channel, ESPN Bases Loaded (carried in the same channel allotments as its "Goal Line" services for football), which carried live look-ins and analyses across the games in progress.
