Congratulations to former University of Alabama Club Baseball player Chase Lee, who was selected by the Texas Rangers with the 164th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft.  Chase becomes the 10th NCBA alumni to be selected in the MLB Draft.  With being selected 164th overall, Lee has become the highest drafted NCBA alumni in league history!

Chase played for the club team for the 2017-2018 season before making the move to the NCAA team.  Lee finished the season with a 7-0 record and an impressive 0.21 ERA and was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. More impressively, he was also selected as a Rawlings NCBA First Team All-American.

Congratulations Chase!  We look forward to seeing you in The Show very soon!

Congratulations to former University of Kentucky Club Baseball player Zach Reks, who made his MLB debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.  Zach played two seasons in the NCBA (2014, 2015) for UK Club Baseball.   He was nominated for 2nd Team Mid-Atlantic All Region in 2014 & was selected as National Player of the Week in April of 2015.

Zach was a 10th Round Pick (310 Overall) for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017.  He joins Steve Schmoll (University of Maryland) as the 2nd NCBA alumni who has played in a Major League Baseball game.  Congratulations Zach!

The NCBA is excited to announce that Jimmy Henderson has been named the Director of Division II Baseball Operations, effective immediately.

Jimmy was born in Wheeling, WV and currently resides in Moundsville, WV. He played baseball and ice hockey throughout high school and continued to play club baseball for West Virginia University. He served as the President of the club baseball team at West Virginia his senior year.

Jimmy is a 2015 & 2016 graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor’s and Master’s of Sports Management with minors in Business Administration and Communications. He brings several years of sports experience as he has worked and interned for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Wheeling Nailers, Sports Info Solutions, and USA Baseball.

In his downtime, he enjoys golfing, being with family and friends, and watching sports.

We couldn’t be more excited for all NCBA participants to work with Jimmy moving forward.  He will certainly be a tremendous asset from day one and we couldn’t be happier to have him take on the challenge of running NCBA Division II Baseball Operations.  All of you will be in very good hands!

To reach Jimmy, you can email him at [email protected], or call him at 412-321-8440 x 102.

CLICK HERE for the 2022 League Participation Agreement, which covers the upcoming 2021-2022 NCBA season. This membership form is due back prior to July 1^st. Please make note we were able to lower dues by $225 this year as we removed the offering of 2 BBCOR bats. While we intend to revisit offering those for the ‘22/’23 season, it was important to us to keep dues as low as we can for clubs this ‘21/’22 season given everything going on the last 14 months.

“2021 will provide many challenges to our program as I’m sure it will to others due to COVID.  We are currently looking for a new home field since ours is a parking lot and our indoor space has been repurposed for workout equipment.  However, our program is hopeful for a return to practice in February with an eye on playing some sort of season this Spring.  34 players are expected to return between the two teams providing a solid group of veterans to lead us through a unique situation.  If given the chance, this group will be ready to lead us to another successful season on and off the field.”
