NCAA Softball Tournament reportedly to seed 32 teams beginning with 2026 tournament
Following another exciting college softball season, the NCAA is doubling the number of teams it will seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. According to Softball America, softball will follow the format of college volleyball and women's soccer with the seeding of 32 teams. Only the top 16 seeds, which hosted the regional, were previously seeded. In theory, the committee is seeking to reward the top seeds with "easier" matchups. REQUIRED READING: Texas Longhorns power couple pushes each other in football, softball However, to protect teams from having to travel too much for regionals, the 1-32 seedings will not be straight up to protect 400-mile geographic proximity parameters and avoid same-conference matchups in the regionals. The No. 1-4 national seeds will play seeds Nos. 29-32; however, an adjustment will be made if it pairs two conference opponents who are scheduled to meet one another. There will not be a seeding for the rest of the 64-team field. National seed buckets Here's a look at how the national seed matchups will be determined, based on the No. 1-32 seed rankings: How the 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament would be impacted If the 2025 NCAA Tournament followed the seeding based on the 1-32 ranking, this is how the field would have looked: Future NCAA Softball Tournament changes According to Softball America, the NCAA Committee will continue to examine other issues when it meets in November. Here's a look at other changes currently under consideration:

Mets' Tylor Megill strikes out nine in second rehab start at Double-A Binghamton
Tylor Megill had another impressive rehab outing as he looks to get back to bolster the Mets' pitching ranks. In his second start with Double-A Binghamton as he works his way back from an elbow strain, the right-hander allowed one hit over 3.1 innings while striking out nine and walking none on 55 pitches (39 strikes, with 12 whiffs). Megill had to settle in as he allowed a leadoff single on an 0-2 pitch before needing five pitches to get the next two outs. With two down in the home half of the first, Megill uncorked a pair of wild pitches to allow the runner to reach third before getting a swinging strikeout, his second of the inning, on a 3-2 pitch. After that, Megill retired the next seven straight batters with six going down on strikes. With one out in the third, the righty recorded his ninth strikeout of the day, but a passed ball saw the batter reach to end his day with a runner on first base. In his first outing at Double-A earlier this week, Megill allowed three hits and a walk while striking out four over 1.2 innings, throwing 41 pitches (27 strikes). In 14 starts with the Mets this year, the 30-year-old has pitched to a 3.95 ERA and 1.361 WHIP in 68.1 innings with 89 strikeouts to 33 walks. He made his last appearance on June 14 before landing on the IL.
