New Britain Bees will join Futures Collegiate Baseball League in 2020
>>After spending four years playing in the Atlantic League, an independent professional baseball league, the New Britain Bees announced Monday that the team will join the Futures Collegiate Baseball League starting in 2020.<<
>>The FCBL, which features teams from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, is a collegiate summer baseball league, in which players largely from the northeast look to gain experience and impress Major League Baseball scouts. Per league rules, at least 50 percent of the players on each team’s roster should be from New England, or attend college in New England. The league has existed since 2011, and is also home to the Bristol Blues.
The Bees will continue to play at New Britain Stadium, and will host 29 games next summer, with tickets starting at $5, according to the team. In addition, the Bees will host the 2020 FCBL All-Star Game on July 14.<<
