The UC San Diego Tritons baseball team has shown that they can definitely compete as an NCAA Division I team. In just their 3rd year since making the jump from the Division II level, they won the Big West Conference baseball championship. The Triton's impressive accomplishment is tempered by the fact they don't get to advance to postseason play as they are still in the probationary transition period for moving up to the top NCAA level. The Tritons are 3 years into a four-year probationary period as they transition from NCAA Division II to NCAA Division I. While they compete in the Big West Conference during the regular season, they are not allowed to compete in postseason play until after next year when they complete the NCAA-mandated four-year reclassification period.
