NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Commissioner Sean McGrath is pleased to unveil the full rosters for the 2019 New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) All-Star Game, as announced Sunday afternoon by the league office. The 2019 NECBL All-Star Game will be hosted by the Vermont Mountaineers at Montpelier Recreation Field next Sunday, July 28.
North Adams’ Mike Dailey and Martha’s Vineyard’s Jay Mendez, whose teams boasted the top winning percentage in the North and South Division, respectively, after the Friday (July 19) 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 Mendez’s All-Star Game managerial debut coinciding with the incredible run by the Sharks’ in their first season in the New England League.
Each All-Star Team is comprised 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.
