College Baseball Run Rule: What to Know About Its Use and Impact

College baseball fans, brace yourselves for a thrilling postseason where every run counts.

Despite the Southeastern Conference (SEC) introducing a 10-run rule in 2023 and other conferences following suit in 2024, the NCAA Baseball Tournament and the College World Series (CWS) will not implement this mercy rule. This means teams must fight until the last out, no matter the score.

The regional round kicks off on May 31, leading up to the Super Regionals and culminating in the CWS starting June 14 in Omaha, Nebraska.

With no run rule in place, each game promises intense competition and potential comebacks, ensuring fans experience the full spectrum of baseball drama.
