The FCBL mission is to provide student-athletes from New England and New England colleges the opportunity to compete and play with elite players from across the country, and to promote them to MLB organizations. Each roster must contain at least 13 players who reside in New England states or compete at a New England university/college. In addition, the Futures Collegiate Baseball League will provide a family friendly, affordable, and fun experience for the communities that we play in, in a minor league style setting. You can visit the league's website at www.thefuturesleague.com.
Each team will play a 56-game regular season schedule and is slated to play 28 at home and 28 away. The regular season will run from early June to mid-August, immediately followed by the playoffs.
The Torrington Titans and the Futures Collegiate Baseball League do not receive any financial support from Major League Baseball. Each of the teams in the FCBL are managed by local volunteers and financed mostly by contributions from local supporters and sponsors. This is truly a community effort. As a player, you become part of our community and are expected to contribute to that effort.
On the field, the FCBL presents the unique opportunity for you to compete against the very best college players in the nation, gain experience in an exclusively wood-bat league, and demonstrate baseball skills to the major league scouts who will be attending each game.
The FCBL currently competes within three New England states. There are ten teams in the league for the 2016 season:
- Martha's Vineyard Shark’s (MA)
- Seacoast Mavericks (NH)
