On multiple occasions since the middle of March, the author has published here a statistical report designed to serve as a nearly responsible shorthand for people who, like the author, have enthusiasm for collegiate baseball, if not actually expert knowledge of it.

What follows is a step in that direction. Included below are the top college players by (maybe) predictive stats for three additional and competitive baseball conferences: the Big 10, Big West, and Missouri Valley.
