14U Ruffnecks Face Competitive Opposition in 2023
TEAM ROSTER | TEAM SCHEDULE
The 2023 14U Ruffnecks return a solid nucleus. The roster also welcomes several new additions. The 2023 edition of the 14U Ruffnecks has an unusual number of 9th graders (9 to be precise). Some of these players will be unavailable during the spring season as they commit their time and efforts to high school baseball (several even at the varsity level).
The 14U season is traditionally carved into two distinct halves. The first half takes place during the spring. The 14U Ruffnecks attend their traditional “opener” at Diamond Nation in New Jersey the weekend of March 18-19. After that, regional play in weekend series, tournaments, and against JV prep teams define the schedule. In 2023 we designed a spring schedule that challenges 14u players with a focus on mid week games and less on weekends. By Memorial Day Weekend the 14U Ruffnecks transition to tournament baseball, increasingly against older competition, with travel throughout the New England region.
Travel and Summer
After Memorial Day, the 14U Ruffnecks jump into events in which they compete against older teams. Several New England events are against 15U and even 16U opponents. The Ruffnecks travel to Cincinnati, Ohio for the 15U CABA World Series July 12-16, which signifies the “official” end of the season. Some players continue to play with the older Ruffnecks teams by joining the rosters of the 15U and even the 16U teams as personal development and the needs of those rosters emerge.
