The Greater Middlesex Conference Baseball Coaches Association has announced its senior All-Academic Team for 2026, honoring one student-athlete from 26 schools in the league.
The team honors “seniors who demonstrated hard work and determination throughout their four years on the diamond, and in the classroom.”
The All-Academic Team will be honored Saturday at the Jim Muldowney GMC Tournament title game, scheduled for 2 pm at Rutgers University’s Bainton Field on the Livingston Campus in Piscataway.
That game will feature third-seed Old Bridge and nine-seed Monroe battling for the title. Old Bridge won it all in 2023, the year they also won the Central Jersey Group 4 title and advanced to the state Group 4 title game. Monroe’s last title came in 2015, when they beat Sayreville 1-0.
