The Road to Cary 2016: PA Products Pushing for NCAA DII National Title

May 19, 2016

By Jacob Gill
Pennsylvania Assistant Director of Scouting

The 2016 NCAA Division II Baseball tournament beings today at eight regional sites around the country. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania has produced players that are represented on 16 of the 56 teams. Five of the programs to earn a post-season berth hail from Pennsylvania, while the rest are spread out across ten other states. Six of the eight regionals (all but the two furthest away geographically) have at least one team with at least one player with a Pennsylvania connection. The Atlantic Regional, which includes the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, headlines the list. See below for a complete list of the Pennsylvania products who are on the Road to Cary, NC, where the DII championships are held. To follow all of the tournament action, click here.
