Franklin Pierce and Pace represented NE10 baseball at the NCAA D2 tournament last year, and while neither team made it to the big show, FPU did make it to the super regionals before losing to Felician. 

This year, NE10 coaches have picked Bentley as the preseason favorite, as the conference moves to a single-division format following New Haven’s departure.

Bentley also has the only preseason All-American from the conference, in outfielder Brendan Sencaj. No NE10 team appeared in either Top 25 poll, but both Bentley and Southern New Hampshire received votes. 

Here's everything to know about NE10 baseball heading into the 2026 campaign.
