Call it an early-season reshuffling in New England Baseball Journal’s Division 3 Coaches Poll.
The games have come at a furious pace with numerous spring break trips having taken place over the past week, offering the opportunity for six ranked clubs to rise from their previous positions.
In this week’s poll, the top four clubs represent four different conferences and three are new top-10 clubs this season, with two taking one of those spots for the first time in program history. One has already banked 12 wins before the start of conference play.
The NEBJ Division 3 Coaches Poll is voted upon by coaches and sports information directors throughout New England and, again in 2026, will be released weekly throughout the spring. Those interested in participating should email [email protected] for more information.
