NEIBA Releases Player of the Year Watch List

The Northeast Indiana Baseball Association has compiled its watch list for the Dick Crumback/NEIBA High School Player of the Year award. The watch list features 64 players from various Northeast Indiana counties; such as Allen, DeKalb, Adams, Whitley and Wells. The award winner will be announced on May 26th and will be honored at a later Tincaps’ game. That date is yet to be confirmed. Area high school coaches were asked to send in names of players that they believed deserved to be nominated for the award.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high school baseball season was canceled last spring, and there was no player of the year award handed out. The last player of the year was South Adams’ Grant Besser in 2019.

The list of nominees includes players from Fort Wayne teams such as Bishop Dwenger, Bishop Luers, Carroll, Homestead, and Northrop. It also includes athletes from fellow Allen County schools such as Leo and New Haven. The watch list can be viewed below.
