Episode 149: Interview with University of Delaware Head Coach Greg Mamula

In this episode, we sit down with Greg Mamula, Head Baseball Coach at the University of Delaware, for an in-depth conversation on college baseball recruiting and player evaluation. Coach Mamula breaks down how Division I programs evaluate high school baseball players, what Delaware looks for in recruits, and how recruiting needs change year-to-year with the transfer portal.

We also dive into the role of junior college baseball in the recruiting process, the high level of competition in Division II and Division III baseball, and take a detailed look at how college coaches evaluate high school hitters. Coach Mamula discusses the Blue Hens’ conference transition from the CAA to Conference USA, what the academic track looks like for college baseball players, and offers practical advice on how families can find success navigating the college baseball recruiting process.
