Iowa Central is good also. There’s definitely a big range from those teams and some of the guys on the bottom feeder teams. Marshalltown, Iowa Lakes struggle and North Iowa just started a program so they struggle too.

Don’t know all he circumstances,but sportsmanship seems to be lacking. Not intentionally play bad, but try other combinations and mix JV into varsity. I would be embarrassed if I was a parent of the winning teams.
How long do you have to play to not be just started? NIACC started baseball in 1931.
Sorry, not NIACC.
I meant Northeast Iowa CC (NICC) west of Dubuque. Last year was their first year as a program. Then there’s also Northeastern CC in Nebraska that plays with the Iowa teams. Confusing as hell.
While not quite to this extent I’ve seen some games where the benches get emptied and it’s still not competitive.
Indian Hills in Centerville used to be the gold standard for baseball, but they have gone through a couple of coaching changes over the past 5 years and struggle to a couple games over .500 this season.
Muscatine baseball lost 3-2 to Bettendorf (@ Bettendorf) on a 2 out hit in bottom of last inning. Player that got the winning hit was the son of a guy who was a star baseball player at Muscatine in his HS days.
Such is life.

Another new staff this year. The last few years they would have tons of international guys and guys from around the country. They signed more Iowa guys this year. Iowa Western becoming a power, plus the others JUCOs doing better getting guys to D1 has hurt Indian Hills. Tougher place to recruit than some of the others too. Guessing they used to sign guys that never visited or met in person given the geographic spread of their roster. I’m guessing that wasn’t good for a program either.
