College World Series Fantasy Draft LIVE From The Homefield x 11.7 Diamond Den (Ep. 248)

Live from Omaha, the College Baseball Experience launches the inaugural 11.7 Home Field Apparel Diamond Den with a multi-team College World Series fantasy draft featuring five two-person teams (11.7, TCE, College Baseball Central, College Baseball Insider/Nash Talks Texas, and 643/DSR). Noah explains draft rules, roster construction (nine hitters, two starters, one reliever), team-representation requirements, and scoring for hitters and pitchers. The group runs a snake draft, debates strategies heavily favoring starting pitching and team coverage, and makes picks throughout multiple rounds while joking about “elephants in the room” and short-name player theories. The episode includes sponsor reads for the SGPN app, World Cup Gambling Podcast, Underdog Fantasy, Rhythm, Bracco Sportsbook and Casino, and Circa contests, then wraps with thanks to participants and plans for daily live shows during the College World Series.
