History of the NYCBL

The New York Collegiate Baseball League, founded in 1978, is a summer wood bat development league for professional baseball.  Major League Baseball funds a small portion of the leagues annual budget. The league gives college players who have not yet signed a professional contract the opportunity to develop their skills at a higher level of play, gain experience with wood bats, and be evaluated by scouts.  The NYCBL is located in scenic Upstate New York.

Teams play a 40 game regular season schedule with games beginning in June and ending in the last week in July.  All games are 9 innings, with most doubleheaders scheduled on the weekends.  The All-Star game is played in early July, and the League Championship Series concludes in the first week of August.
