NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- North Adams SteepleCats pitcher Blake Whitney was named to the All-New England Collegiate Baseball League First Team on Tuesday morning.
Whitney is one of four pitchers on the all-league first team: three starters plus closer Tyler Smith of VAlley.
Whitney, a rising senior at the University of South Carolina-Upstate, finished the summer with a 2.07 earned run average and struck out a league-leading 80 in 52 innings pitched.
His ERA was sixth in the league.
Eleven of the league's 13 teams were represented on the All-NECBL Teams, while both Newport and Keene led the pack with four selections apiece. Regular season division champions Upper Valley and Ocean State each had three honorees - including a league-most three first team all-league selections by Upper Valley, while the 2017 NECBL champion Valley Blue Sox saw one of their players selected.
