NCAA DIII Baseball Program

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Baseball - MN

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota baseball competes at the NCAA DIII level in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and is based in Winona, MN. Campus enrollment is about 1,073 students. The published acceptance rate is 93%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 25-17. Listed coaches include Eli Morison, Nick Winecke, Noah Dutler, and Mark Merchlewitz.

Saint Mary's has won at least 21 games in each of the last three seasons after a sub-.500 year in 2023, and the Cardinals qualified for the MIAC Tournament in 2026 with an opening-round upset win. That trajectory reflects a program that has found consistent footing under head coach Nick Winecke, who has been in Winona since 2008. The recruiting picture for next year is notably pitcher-heavy: eight pitchers exhaust eligibility, joined by two catchers and several infield and outfield openings, making this a class where arms will be the clearest priority on a 54-man roster that already carries a large freshman group.
