ONSL - Week 4 Recap
October 5, 2020
Throughout the summer of 2020 many players across North Carolina did not play their expected schedule. This is on the back of a spring season that was cancelled very early on for high school players. As August rolled around, it became clear that individual sessions through high school teams, and the fall season, would continue to be impacted by COVID-19. These issues brought some solutions as the sport of baseball, and the people involved, continued to work to impact the growth of young players.
The Old North State League was one group that stepped up to see if it could help players. Coming off a successful 1st summer of their Collegiate League, the ONSL setup a high school fall league. The leagues features players representing teams from area high schools, for the most part. The league is meant to be a developmental platform, giving players reps Mondays through Thursday beginning in September and running through mid-August.
