About the SCCBL

The Southern California Collegiate Baseball League, founded in 2007, is a member of the National Baseball Congress. It consists of six competitive teams: the Azusa Pirates, the East LA Dodgers, the Inland Empire Aces, the LA Thrashers, the Palm Springs POWER, and the So Cal Athletics. Rosters are assembled with college ballplayers from schools across the country, all spending the summer developing and fine-tuning their skills for their upcoming college seasons. The League’s commissioner, Andrew Starke, owns the POWER, for whom he also serves as the general manager. Starke’s POWER host an open tryout at Palm Springs Stadium prior to each season for all of the SCCBL teams to pick up extra players and fill out their rosters, which have been mostly assembled over the course of the previous winter and spring. To avoid rosters saturated with players from just one university, the SCCBL enforces restrictions on roster assemblage. Each team may only have FOUR players from any individual college that spent the previous season with  that college AND will spend the next season with said college. However, the teams may have as many incoming transfer students from a specific college as they please. All players have at least one year of college experience and one more year of NCAA eligibility while no players may participate in the league that have been a professional within the previous six months. The League employs the Designated Hitter rule. At the season’s conclusion, a champion is decided through a best-of-three playoff between the two teams with the League’s leading conference records. The League also hosts an all-star game and home run derby at season’s end. The 2011 All-Star Game and Home Run Derby will be held at Palm Springs Stadium on July 30th when the SCCBL All-Stars take on those of the Orange County Collegiate Baseball League.
