TheNew England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL orNew England League) is a 13-teamcollegiate summer baseball wooden bat league founded in 1993 and sanctioned by theNCAA andMajor League Baseball. Each NECBL team plays an eight-week, 44-game schedule during June and July, with a playoff in early August. Like theCape Cod Baseball League and other amateur leagues, the NECBL is a showcase for top college-level players, giving professional baseballscouts a chance to see prospective pros playing against each other. Along with theCape Cod Baseball League,Northwoods League, andCoastal Plain League, it is considered one of the top summer leagues in the country and is a part of theNational Alliance of College Summer Baseball. In 2019, the Collegiate Summer Baseball Register ranked the NECBL as the 2nd best collegiate summer baseball league, behind only the Cape Cod League.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Founded in 1993, the NECBL began its direction underGeorge Foster, formerCincinnati Reds andNew York Mets All-Star andMajor League Baseball home run leader, andEmmy Award-winning television producer/directorJoseph Consentino. Play started in 1994 and today the NECBL plays in all sixNew England states.^[4] It recruits players attending U.S. colleges from New England, the other 44 states, and foreign countries, provided that they come from NCAA-sanctioned colleges or universities, are in good academic standing, have completed at least one year of athletic eligibility, and have at least one year of eligibility remaining.

The NECBL's current commissioner is Sean McGrath, former general manager of theNorth Adams SteepleCats. McGrath replaced Mario Tiani, who retired following the 2012 season.

League structure

[edit]

The NECBL became a 13-team league in 2013 with the addition of teams in Rhode Island (Ocean State Waves), Massachusetts (Plymouth Pilgrims) and New York (Saratoga Brigade) (the league's first team to operate outside New England), but reverted to 12 teams after the Brigade folded. On October 30, 2015, the league announced that theUpper Valley Nighthawks would begin play in 2016 inHartford, Vermont, bringing the league back to 13 teams.^[5] The Plymouth Pilgrims ceased operations after the 2018 season^[6] but were replaced by the Martha's Vineyard Sharks, a former member of theFutures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL). The New Bedford BaySox ceased after the 2019 season, replaced by theBristol Blues, who also moved from the FCBL.^[7] The North Shore Navigators returned to the league in 2021 after nine years in the FCBL.^[8] TheWinnipesaukee Muskrats folded following the 2022 season after the league's governing board rejected the team's strategy to house players.^[9]

Season structure

[edit]

In the 2021 season, the league was divided into two seven-team divisions, the North Division and the South Division. During the regular season, teams played 44 regular-season games, solely against division opponents, because of COVID-19 travel concerns. Scheduleddoubleheaders were seven-inning games.

The top four teams from each division qualified for the eight-team playoff bracket, in which teams played best-of-three series to determine the champion.

For 2022, the NECBL went to three divisions, with a single pair of games against each out-of-division team. The league retained the three-division format through the 2024 season. In 2025, the NECBL returned to the two-division format with six teams in the North Division and seven in the South.

Media

[edit]

All NECBL games are broadcast online through the NECBL Broadcast Network from Blueframe, with Pointstreak providing live stats for all games.^[41]

On May 14, 2010, the league signed an agreement with Pointstreak. Pointstreak provides "real-time scoring, official statistics, and administration services" to the NECBL. A highlight of Pointstreak's services is Game Live, a real-time statistics feature providingplay-by-play for every NECBL game.^[42]

In 2020, the league announced that Blueframe would provide the official streaming service for the league.

Overall, the NECBL, Jayhawk, and Northwoods leagues look good, but if you pay less attention to the D1% column (which may be reasonable, given the strength of the California JC ranks, for example), the California and West Coast leagues may join them.
