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 Campbell University & South Dakota School of Mines have officially joined the NCBA for the upcoming 2021-2022 season.  Both teams will be competing in the Division II league in their inaugural seasons. Welcome Camels and Hardrockers!

The Camels and the Hardrockers are the first two teams to join the NCBA for the 2021-22 season but won’t be the last!

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.

Due to the amount of teams across all divisions officially unable to compete this spring due to school/municipal COVID-19 mandates, necessary consolidation was needed.  With that, the NCBA will not be hosting Divisional League play this this spring, but rather a combined NCBA season.  Please note that all Division I, II, and III teams that ARE eligible to compete this spring will be invited to play in a conferences that may be a mix of any combination of DI, DII and DIII teams.  Please be sure to follow all this season’s action through the main NCBA Website.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at

“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.”
