What D1 Baseball does
D1Baseball is a privately held digital subscription media platform founded in 2003 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, focused exclusively on college baseball. The platform at d1baseball.com aggregates national and conference-specific rankings, scores, statistics, transfer portal tracking, coaching carousel news, MLB draft prospect coverage, podcasts, and advanced analytics, and serves college baseball fans, coaches and program staff, professional scouts, and (more recently) high school and college players and their families. Editorial is produced by a veteran in-house team that includes co-owners Kendall Rogers and Aaron Fitt and more than ten named beat reporters and podcasters covering the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Northeast, and Midwest.
The product surface spans tiered subscriptions (Monthly $15.99, Annual $139.99, D1 Extra Monthly $22.99, D1 Extra Annual $189.99), a separate PreD1ctive Picks add-on that delivers algorithm-driven game predictions with a claimed 73% win rate across 500+ picks per season, and a set of content modules such as the Transfer Tracker, Coaching Scoop, Top 25 Rankings, Tournament Central, and conference-specific sections (SEC Extra, ACC Extra). Underlying technology includes a digital media platform with structured advanced statistics and a February 2026 strategic partnership with TrackMan that integrates pitch and batted-ball tracking data (velocity, spin rate, exit velocity) into editorial and podcast coverage.
The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer subscription recurring revenue, augmented by sponsor and marketing partnerships (TrackMan for technology/data, AstroTurf as Official Synthetic Turf Partner with presenting sponsorship of a new 'Field of the Week' video series and the D1 Daily podcast, and MAI Capital Management for NIL financial education content). Distribution is entirely digital via d1baseball.com and an active social media footprint across X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Threads, with no mobile app or third-party distribution channels in operation. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent entities, or acquisition activity.
