Hey guys! I'm a high school baseball player and I want to continue playing in college. I'm looking for a balanced mix of academics and athletics. Can anyone recommend some of the best Division 3 baseball schools out there?

Sure, I'd be glad to help! Keep in mind that the "best" school will depend on what you're looking for in terms of academics, campus culture, and location. That being said, here are some top Division 3 baseball programs known for their balance of strong athletic performance and academics:

1. Emory University: Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Emory's baseball team consistently ranks as a top D3 program and competes in the University Athletic Association. Emory is also well-regarded for its strong academic programs across various disciplines.

2. Johns Hopkins University: Located in Baltimore, Maryland, Johns Hopkins has a prestigious baseball program in the Centennial Conference. Aside from its athletic success, Hopkins is known for research, science, and humanities.

3. Washington University in St. Louis: As a member of the University Athletic Association, WashU's baseball team has seen success over the years. WashU is recognized for its balanced offerings in both STEM and humanities.

4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Cambridge-based MIT is part of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference. While MIT's baseball program isn't as strong as some of the others listed here, its academics are world-renowned, especially in technology and engineering fields.

5. University of Southern Maine: The Huskies compete in the Little East Conference and have a history of success in the College World Series. USM offers reputable academics with a wide range of majors.

6. Tufts University: A New England Small College Athletic Conference member, Tufts has a solid baseball program. Known for its balance of academics and sports, Tufts offers strong programs across several disciplines.

7. Trinity University: Situated in San Antonio, Texas, Trinity is part of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. With a competitive baseball program and strong academics, the university maintains its focus on developing well-rounded students.

Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and you'll want to do more research to find a school that will be the best fit for you academically, athletically, socially, and geographically. Good luck with your college search and your baseball career!
