The Shelter Island Bucks formed its first team and joined the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League in 2012. For the past 13 years, each new team has been a joy to watch! Our residents, visitors, and local businesses have passionately embraced the team making the Bucks games a must-see event on everyones Shelter Island summer to-do list. 

 

The Bucks brought home the championship in 2015. 

 

We are all looking forward to the 2025 season.

​In 2008, Hamptons Collegiate Baseball set out to become one of the top summer programs in the nation, providing first-quality competition, coaching, and facilities.

 

As a league, we have teams that have ranked nationally in the summer league rankings. Each summer, HCBL recruits a group of talented and dedicated athletes from universities that range from Long Island to the West Coast and everywhere in between.

 

As of 2018, over a dozen HCBL alumni have graduated to the major leagues.

 

Our athletes enthusiastically endorse their HCBL experience, including the high quality of competition and coaching, ample playing time, accommodating host families, free memberships to state-of-the-art gym facilities, proximity to the beaches and New York City, outstanding recreational life, and all else that a summer out in the Hamptons has to offer. Our success has garnered national media attention, including featured articles in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and we’ve also gained great support and credibility from those in the professional and collegiate baseball circles.
