Congratulations to former NCBA standout Chase Lee for making his MLB debut with the Detroit Tigers! On 4/22/25 he tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the San Diego Padres.
Drafted in the 6th round (164th overall) of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers, Chase started on the Alabama Club Team before getting called up to Varsity.
During his 2018 NCBA season, Chase went 7-0 with a .21 ERA in 42 innings, earning him NCBA 1st team All American honors.
To date, Chase is the highest MLB draft selection to have previously played in the NCBA.

DIVISION III TEAM PREVIEWSÂ |Â DAY 1 OF 3
DISTRICT I
In the East division, Hofstra enters the 2025 season with a 4-0 record through their fall series and will look to maintain their conference lead. Rowan (5-1) will look to chase them down after going undefeated through the 2023-24 regular season, while Lehigh (3-1) sits one game back after realigning from Division II to Division III.
The West division has two undefeated teams left standing at the top of the conference. Dickinson (4-0) returns 12 players from a District Runner-Up finish in 2024 and is using that loss as fuel for their hopeful run to the World Series this spring. York (2-0) showcased a high-powered offense in their only fall series that they hope will propel them to a conference title and playoff berth. Bucknell (2-2) remains in the mix and sits two games back of the conference lead.
Be sure to check out all the District I Team Previews to see where each team stands heading into the Spring 2025 season!
