History
D1Baseball was founded as NCAA-Baseball.com in 2003 by Jeremy Mills, who would go on to serve on as a college baseball researcher for ESPN. Cynthia Mills, Jeremy's wife, would assume control of the site in 2006.[2] In 2015, D1Baseball relaunched under the leadership of former major leaguer and ESPN college baseball personality Kyle Peterson.[3] The website underwent a "aggressive expansion" into collegiate baseball reporting at this time, as the American Baseball Coaches Association described. The website hired Aaron Fitt, a national writer at Baseball America, and Kendall Rogers, a managing editor of college baseball at Perfect Game.[4] In 2018, the website hired David Siefert, a former area scout for the Philadelphia Phillies, as its director of college scouting.[5]
