College Baseball in its entirety. MLB is only watchable during the postseason.

College, but only because I have a dog in the fight. Watching baseball when you don't have a team kinda sucks.

I love college baseball in the spring. I like MLB too, but don't really pay attention until late August.

They both have their moments

Imo MLB isn't watchable until after the CWS is over anyways

I could watch college baseball on TV or in person and be entertained. I have to actually be at the game to enjoy MLB. Even then though I get bored by the 5th or 6th inning. It’s so corporate and boring.

College because they still actually play "baseball".

I happen to be a fan of steals, hit and runs, bunts, etc. MLB became too much about the long ball. It's still present in the college game but it isn't everything.
I think in game offensive coaching matters a hell of a lot more at the college level which I enjoy watching.

College. I like the imperfections, makes the game more unpredictable and fun.

I love to read about MLB before Babe Ruth when the game was as you described. The players of that era were something else.

Why does a fan of a big ten team feel the need to post a thread on a SEC message board declaring that his preference is MLB over college baseball?????

We have great baseball in the SEC. Big Ten Baseball sucks.

So… of course a guy who has two mlb teams in his state prefers MLB when his college team, and conference, sucks arse in baseball.

You’re lucky. I wish the SEC would drop the boring crap and bring in wrestling and hockey.

College is better. Most sec fans don' have an MLB team to care about and they play way too many games.

College during the Spring because it’s shorter and a lot more fun to follow week to week.

I enjoy MLB during the summer when there’s little else to do and pennant races keep things entertaining until football starts.

It’s fun taking my kids to Foley for a few months and then to Truist Park come June/July. Both environments have their charms and make the game feel like magic to younger kids.

College baseball plays with kids primarily from their state. Every win matters for bragging rights and seeding. The season is fun from start to finish.

MLB barely uses American players and losses are barely mater.

Pro, but the gap is closing with the more things Manfred does.
