Get Ready for the Play on the Diamond
Game On: Journey to the NCAA Championship will showcase the major storylines, players, coaches and teams as the Division I Baseball Championship gets underway. Hosted by ESPN senior writer and Marty & McGee co-host Ryan McGee and ESPN baseball analyst Kyle Peterson, Game On will preview the tournament with stories on some of the best teams and players on the Road to Omaha.
Features include:
* UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky : In 2025, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky won the Baseball America College Player of the Year Award. This year, he is in line to become the top pick in the MLB Draft. Whenever Cholowsky first takes the field in a game, and before every at bat, he traces something in the dirt to honor and remember one of his former teammates. Chris Connelly reveals the person that the UCLA superstar keeps with him on the field every game.
* Texas assistant coaches Troy Tulowitzki and Max Weiner: This year, the Texas Longhorns are one of the most balanced teams in college baseball with a top 20 ranked pitching staff and a top 30 scoring offense. Behind this success are two very different assistant coaches - 5-time MLB All-Star Troy Tulowitzski and former Mariners pitching guru Max Weiner. Chris Burke reports on how together, these coaches aren't only driving success, they are teaching the Longhorns to think about the game in a whole new way.
* Georgia catcher Daniel Jackson, aka "The Rhino": Georgia catcher Daniel Jackson leads the SEC regular season champion Bulldogs in just about every major offensive category. This season Jackson became the sixth player overall, and first catcher, to have both 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in a season. He is strong. He is fast. He is built like a tank, and that is why they call him "The Rhino". Ryan McGee
* Georgia Tech duo Drew Burress and Vahn Lackey: Georgia Tech has the highest scoring offense in Division I baseball averaging over 10 runs per game. The Yellow Jackets' rise to a championship contender has been fueled by two cornerstone members of its 2023 recruiting class - elite outfield prospect Drew Burress and once overlooked catcher Vahn Lackey. Burress recently passed Jason Varitek as Tech's all-time leader in career home runs, Lackey leads the team in runs batted in and on-base percentage. Both players are expected to hear their names called early in the first round of the MLB Draft, but before that they hope to lead Georgia Tech to its first College World Series title. Kris Budden
Game On: Journey to the NCAA Championship premieres Thursday, May 28 at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2 with same day streaming on ESPN+.
Additional Men's College World Series coverage details will be announced in the coming weeks. All scheduling updates throughout the NCAA Baseball Tournament can be found here.

Four Seasons Hotel Madrid Redefines the City's Wellness Standard with a New Treatment Offering
*
Four Seasons Hotel Madrid strengthens its position as a benchmark for luxury wellness with the launch of a renewed selection of Natura Bisse treatments at its spa. Designed to set the tone for the industry, the new menu combines cosmetic innovation, specialised techniques and a holistic approach focused on personalisation and the balance between body and mind.
This latestinitiative represents another step forward in the evolution of the wellness offer from the hotel, consolidating its spa as one of the most complete and sophisticated spaces in the Spanish capital. With 1,450 square metres (15,600 square feet) spread over four levels, the spa stands as the best urban wellness centre in Madrid and somewhere designed for disconnecting from the pace of daily life to reconnect with personal care.
With that in mind, the new treatment list introduces experiences that blend science, sensory stimulation and technique, raising the bar for urban wellness through rituals that offer visible results and a feeling of complete renewal.
Next-Gen Facial Treatments: Luminosity, Firmness and Vitality
The new facial treatments stand out for their advanced approach and ability to meet the various needs of different skin types. The Diamond Illuminating Experience (75 minutes) is one of the star treatments. Formulated with such active ingredients as Lumiyouth Complex, multi-molecular hyaluronic acid and extract of prickly pear, this facial treatment improves elasticity, boosts hydration and smooths the appearance of expression lines. Based on expert massage techniques for the face, neck and neckline, it stimulates circulation and enhances skin luminosity, balance and vitality.
In turn, the Citrus Vitality Experience (60 minutes) offers a revitalising approach inspired by Mediterranean energy. Enriched with vitamin C of citric origin, it helps to illuminate the face, improve firmness and protect against the effects of environmental factors. The experience is accompanied by manual and aromatherapy techniques that awaken the senses to bring freshness, lightness and an immediate sensation of wellness.
Body Rituals: Detox, Energy and Reconnection
The offer is expanded to include body care with treatments designed to provide deep renewal. The Diamond Detoxifying Treatment (120 minutes) combines exfoliation, a marine algae body mask, body serum, and a draining and firming massage aimed at stimulating detoxification processes and improving the sensation of lightness and overall wellbeing. An immersive ritual that acts at both physical and sensorial levels.
The Vitamin C Revitalising Ritual (90 minutes) provides a more energising experience focused on revitalising the skin and stimulating the senses. It includes a gentle exfoliation enriched with vitamin C, followed by a moisturising wrap and a massage to encourage circulation. Its citric aromas bring freshness and vitality to leave the skin smooth, bright and deeply refreshed.
Alongside its treatments, the spa at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid offers an overall wellbeing experience that is adapted to modern lifestyles. Its facilities include eight treatment rooms designed as genuine temples to relaxation in which each experience is personalised to meet the needs of the guest.
The space also has a 14-metre (46 foot) indoor swimming pool beneath a glass ceiling that allows natural light to pour in throughout the day, as well as a terrace with views of the Madrid rooftops that is perfect for relaxing in a bright open-air environment. A sauna, steam bath, relaxation areas and a gym equipped with personalised programs, including private yoga, Pilates and mindfulness sessions, complete the offer.
Furthermore, the spa also runs a visiting therapists program with renowned health and beauty specialists offering exclusive limited-time treatments that constantly enhance the offer.
With this new treatment list, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid not only expands its offer but reaffirms its commitment to a contemporary approach to wellness in which luxury, innovation and personalisation come together to create transformational experiences in the heart of the city.
