The best of the Northeast-10 Conference are returning to New England diamonds in 2026.
As New England Baseball Journal continues its countdown to the college season, it’s time for a look at the region’s best top Division 2 players by position in the annual All-NEBJ format.
Eight of the region’s 10 programs are represented on this roster. A handful come from preseason conference and New England favorite Bentley, which will be the first local club to take the field in regular-season action on Friday, Feb. 6 at Barry.
All but one All-NEBJ player is from a NE10 school, while five have previously won major NE10 awards following either the 2024 or 2025 seasons. Geographically speaking, there are five Massachusetts natives and three Connecticut natives on the team.
