NCAA DI Baseball Program
James Madison University Baseball - VA
James Madison University baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in Sun Belt Conference and is based in Harrisonburg, VA. Campus enrollment is about 20,888 students. The published acceptance rate is 72%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 21-32. Listed coaches include Marlin Ikenberry, Tanner Biagini, Ryan Dooley, and Anthony Spataro.
James Madison closed 21–32 overall and 11–19 in the Sun Belt (11th), a slight uptick from 17–38 a year earlier but still outside the conference tournament picture. Marlin Ikenberry, in his Harrisonburg tenure since 2016, continues to lead the Dukes through a deep Sun Belt. The near-term read is a DI program fighting to climb out of the league’s lower third. Families looking at a thin 12-player 2027 roster listing should verify current numbers and weigh Sun Belt competitiveness carefully.
