Background Checks

Head and Asst. coaches along with others who come into contact with players must have a background check that was run no earlier than February 1st, 2020. These have to be done before practices and games begin. This has been mandatory for Fairfax County coaches and will now be mandatory for all NVTBL coaches and administrators.

NVTBL has secured an arrangement with USA Baseball to provide a low cost option for background checks (only $6). If you have already done a background check after 1/31/20 and can provide the documentation, that will suffice. We will be sending out the USA Baseball background check option and also follow-up with additional specifics. NVTBL wants to notify everyone now so that you can start to prepare a plan within your organizations and teams.

All games are now no new inning 1 hour and 50 minutes.

A reminder that there is never a drop dead time limit for any NVTBL games.

NVTBL- DC Prospects League

ROSTERS / SCHEDULES

Rosters / Schedules- NBM

By Joey Kamide. NOVA Baseball Magazine

February 4 - Over 40 Division I recruits will suit up next month in the new D.C. Prospect League, which will lead into the abbreviated Virginia high school season set to begin in mid-April.

The four-team league will consist of an 18-game regular season played from Feb. 28 to Apr. 5, with games held at the new Fredericksburg Nationals ballpark and South County Middle School in Lorton. Both venues feature turf playing surfaces.

The league’s coaches will limit pitchers to 30 pitches to begin the season, with that count eventually increasing to 45.

“We are very excited to provide opportunities for high school players in both the DC Prospect League and the Spring Training Team League,” said Northern Virginia Travel Baseball League executive director Rob Hahne, one of the league’s organizers. “Baseball in March will be so important for all of these players both mentally and physically.”

The DCPL will give Major League Baseball scouts an opportunity to check in on potential pro prospects such as Madison senior two-way standout James Triantos, a North Carolina recruit who saw his draft stock rise after an impressive showing at October’s Perfect Game WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, FL. Other seniors such as Marshall righty Kyle Robinson (Texas Tech), Freedom-South Riding shortstop and pitcher Casey Cook (North Carolina) and Riverside right-hander Wyatt Shenkman (East Carolina) are also on draft radars, and a number of the league’s underclassmen - notably Bishop O’Connell right-hander Jack O’Connor (Virginia), Independence righty Bryce Dolby (Mississippi) and McLean outfielder and pitcher Griffin Stieg (Virginia Tech) - are considered potential prospects for the 2022 MLB Draft.

The league will provide an ultra-competitive environment for some of the area’s top talent as the state’s high school programs prepare for a long-awaited return to the diamond. Both the Virginia High School League and Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association are scheduled to begin their abbreviated seasons on Apr. 12.

The last public school contest played in Virginia was on June 14, 2019 when Lake Braddock defeated Westfield in the VHSL Class 6 state final. A handful of private school games were played last spring before the COVID-19 shutdown.
