NCAA DIII Baseball Program
Illinois Wesleyan University Baseball - IL
Illinois Wesleyan University baseball competes at the NCAA DIII level in College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin and is based in Bloomington, IL. Campus enrollment is about 1,582 students. The published acceptance rate is 39%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 18-22. Listed coaches include Michael Kellar, Josh Laurie, Tim Siegworth, and Matt Willey.
Illinois Wesleyan closed 18–22 overall and 12–8 in the CCIW, good for the No. 2 tournament seed despite the sub-.500 full record, then exited with losses to North Park and Carthage. That followed a 28–15 spring in 2025, so the Bloomington DIII year reads as a step back into the league’s middle. Michael Kellar heads the staff. Families recruiting into a 36-player 2027 roster should still expect CCIW bracket access and watch whether non-conference results rebound.
