Varsity Baseball
Varsity Baseball is a member of the Western New England Prep Baseball League and competes in a division with Salisbury, Frederick Gunn, Berkshire, and Millbrook Schools. The team plays a 22-game schedule every year following an eight-day trip to Florida for spring training. The season culminates with a playoff between the league’s two divisions. After its third straight 16-win season in 2024, the Saints advanced to the championship game of the WNEPBL playoffs and finished #8 in the final New England Baseball Journal poll. The following season, the team posted a 17-3 record en route to its first WNEPBL championship and was ranked #3 by the New England Baseball Journal.
The Saints’ coaches use many tools to get the best out of the players. Right View Pro, a video analysis program, assists the coaches in breaking down swing and pitching mechanics. They also use an extensive “Baseball Playbook” which teaches the student/athletes baseball skills as well as life lessons. The passion and dedication of the coaching staff combined with a competitive league and non-league schedule make Canterbury a desirable destination for baseball players to flourish. Many players go on to compete at the collegiate level, and some have continued on to the professional level.
