NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) is pleased to unveil the members of the 2019 All-NECBL First and Second Teams, as announced by Commissioner Sean McGrath on Monday.

Comprised of a position player at each spot on the diamond, a designated hitter, three starting pitchers, three relievers and a closer on each side, the league honored 32 student-athletes on their outstanding summers in the New England League.

Twelve of the league’s 13 teams were represented on the All-NECBL Teams, with the Mystic Schooners leading all organizations with five selections thanks to three first-team honorees and a pair of second-team picks.

The North Adams SteepleCats boasted a pair of all-league designees, while the Danbury Westerners, Ocean State Waves, Sanford Mainers and Winnipesaukee Muskrats rounded out the honorees with one all-league selection apiece.
