I'm writing a short story about a college baseball team, but I don't know much about baseball, or any sports for that matter. When do colleges tend to have their tryouts? How many people are on the team? And when do they go to the championships?

well atleast in the majors teams start inviting players to spring training around February and they have exhibition games for about a month until the regular season starts. At that point the team decides among their non-roster invitees whom they would like to add to the roster.

It can be a little different since teams in the South have better weather and a longer season when they can play outside, but here is the basic timeline for a college season:

Fall Practice begins - Mid September - this is really just a tune up and to see the new players, but runs until the end of the semester.
Practice and "tryouts" run from January through the middle of February.
First Game - late February
Regular Season Ends - mid-May
Conference Tournament - End of May
National Tournament - Early June
College World Series - June 15

I am not sure if there is a limit to the number of players that you can have, but teams usually have 35 - 40 players. 15 - 20 are pitchers and 20 -25 are fielders/hitters.
Probably about 20 of these players will play often. 10 - 12 fielders and 8 - 10 pitchers will play throughout the course of a season.

teams sometimes will have their tryouts in the fall, that way they can condition them over the winter, making sure that they're not getting fat, that sort, and then right around January, they'll start to hit the batting cages to get out of that winter groove, and by mid feburary, they'll take the field for practices.

it depends on how many people are on a team, but I'd say from at least 25 to 35.

the championships are most likely in june
