COLLEGE BASEBALL INSIGHTS






Linn-Benton finished 38-11-0 (.776) this season, while Lane CC rounds out the region’s reporting colleges with 10 alumni currently on four-year rosters — a reminder that Raw APS, alumni count, and current-season win percentage are three independent measures.

How These Rankings Are Calculated

Each college’s Raw APS is a weighted sum of alumni currently active on four-year rosters, weighted by division level (NCAA D1 = 5.0, D2 = 4.3, NAIA = 4.0, D3 = 3.7, NCCAA = 2.5, USCAA = 2.0). Efficiency APS divides that score by total alumni, showing the average placement weight per player rather than the raw scale. This is a cumulative, point-in-time snapshot of where a program’s alumni are playing now, not a measure of how many players transferred out during the current season.
