Morse senior Oscar Nelson prepares to swing during a scrimmage against Oxford Hills at Bowdoin College on April 4, 2025.

Wyatt Aceto, Brunswick sophomore shortstop/pitcher: Aceto’s pitches can hit the mid-80s and cause opposing batters to swing and miss. As a freshman, he maintained a 1.16 ERA and held opponents to a .143 batting average.

Henry Blood, Brunswick senior left field/first base: Blood returns to the Dragons’ lineup as one of the team’s top bats, hitting .352 with an on base percentage of .500 last year. 

Ben Bolduc, Freeport senior outfielder: Part of the best 1-2 hitting combo head coach Steve Shukie has had at Freeport, the all-WMC first teamer provides power to the lineup. Last year, Bolduc hit .367 with with six doubles and 13 RBI.

Liam Emmons, Freeport junior pitcher/outfield: A first-team all-WMC selection at first base last season, Emmons will primarily pitch and play center field in 2025. At the plate last spring, he hit .418 and had a 1.084 OPS with two home runs and 14 RBI.

Oscar Gallant, Morse sophomore first base/pitcher: After getting his fair share of experience as a freshman, the sophomore southpaw is slated to be the Shipbuilders’ No. 2 pitcher this season.

Kenny Mecham, Richmond senior third base/shortstop/pitcher: The 2024 Class D South runner-up Bobcats’ top returning bat. Last season, Mecham either led or tied for the team-high in batting average (.580), on base percentage (.639), hits (29), RBI (26) and extra-base hits (nine).

Jackson Murray, Morse senior shortstop: Murray will be the Shipbuilders’ sparkplug at the top of the lineup and a reliable defender in the middle infield. Look for him to especially wreak havoc on the base path. Murray’s speed will give him a few extra-base hits and steals.

Oscar Nelson, Morse senior pitcher/utility: Coming off a junior season in which he hit .392 and was named to the all-KVAC second team, Nelson will be Morse’s punch at the plate and, as the team’s ace, on the rubber. The Colby-Sawyer commit will also play first, second and third base.

Cody Osmond, Lisbon senior pitcher/utility: A second-team all-MVC selection each of the past two seasons, Osmond will give the Greyhounds some juice on the mound. Mt. Abram coach Jeff Pillsbury said Osmond “might have one of the best arms in the conference.”

Liam Scholl, Brunswick senior pitcher/center field: Scholl finished last season’s dominant all-KVAC second-team campaign with a 1.32 ERA and 68 strikeouts. He is committed to pitch at Salve Regina next year.
