San Antonio: A College Baseball Spotlight.

San Antonio, Texas, has been described as a big city with a small-town feel. Depending on where you're from, your opinion on this might vary. However big or small it feels to you, one fact is absolutely true: in the college baseball world, it's big. Here's a breakdown of the variety of baseball colleges in the Alamo City.

Division 1: UTSA and UIW. San Antonio is home to two NCAA Division 1 schools. As of this writing, UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio) competes in the AAC (American Athletic Conference) and UIW (University of the Incarnate Word) competes in the Southland Conference. The following are links to their athletic websites: UTSA, UIW

Division 2: St. Mary's University. St. Mary's University has an outstanding baseball program with some of the nicest Division 2 baseball facilities in the country, let alone San Antonio. They compete in the Lone Star Conference, arguably the toughest conference in Division 2 baseball. Here is a link to their athletic site: St. Mary's

Division 3: Trinity University. A Division 3 powerhouse, Trinity's baseball team has numerous conference and regional titles. In 2016, they won the Division 3 World Series championship. Trinity University has a beautiful campus, with a stellar baseball field to match. They compete in the SCAC (Southern Collegiate Athletics Conference). Here is the link to their athletic website: Trinity

NAIA: OLLU. Our Lady of the Lake University is yet another option among San Antonio's diversity of colleges. A relatively new program, OLLU's baseball team has seen steady success, including a conference championship title. One unique thing about OLLU is that they carry a sub-varsity team, which makes their roster the largest at around 60 players. They compete in the Red River Conference. Here is their website: OLLU

Honorable Mentions: Texas Lutheran University and Texas A&M San Antonio. Texas Lutheran University (TLU) is a Division 3 school located in Seguin, Texas. However, a 40-minute drive to San Antonio is close enough to be considered in the honorable mentions. A&M San Antonio, while located in San Antonio, does not currently have a baseball team. However, it's a growing school that could possibly expand its athletic programs in the future. We thought it was worth keeping an eye on. Athletic websites: TLU, TAMUSA
