NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Commissioner Sean McGrath is thrilled to announce the full rosters for the 2021 New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) All-Star Game, as announced Sunday afternoon by the league office. The 2021 NECBL All-Star Game will be hosted by the Newport Gulls at Cardines Field next Sunday, July 18.

Keene’s Shaun McKenna and Newport’s Kevin Winterrowd, whose teams boasted the top winning percentage in the North and South Division, respectively, after the Friday (July 9) cut-off date, will lead their respective divisions in next weekend’s showcase. Both are doing so for the first time in their NECBL tenures, with McKenna’s reigning 2019 NECBL champion Swamp Bats enjoying another hot start to the summer and Winterrowd’s Gulls 

Each All-Star team consists of nine slots for pitchers (starting pitcher, seven relievers, closer); a starter and two substitute catchers; a starter and substitute for the four remaining infield positions; a starter and substitute designated hitter; three starting outfielders and three reserve outfielders; and one Coach's Selection by each manager for a total of 29 players per squad. This year’s Coach’s choice for the Northern Division is Keene outfielder Michael Nyisztor (Rutgers) and Newport infielder Dawson Brigman (Santa Clara) for the Southern Division.
