59 NECBL alumni were in Major League camps as pitchers and catchers began reporting. 37 players were on Active or 40-man rosters while another 22 were in Major League camps as non-roster invitees. 24 of the 30 Major League clubs had at least one NECBL alumnus in their camp.
 
Joe Nathan, who played in the NECBL's inaugural 1994 season, may be the most marquee alumnus. The long time Twin closer is in the process of training with new teammates, the defending American League champion Texas Rangers.
 
Three more alumni- first baseman Matt Adams, pitcher Mitchell Boggs and pitcher Jason Motte- are on the 40-man roster of the defending World Champion St. Louis Cardinals while a fourth, pitcher Nick Greenwood, is a Redbirds' non-roster invitee.
 
The Boston Red Sox have an NECBL flavor with two NECBL alums- catcher Ryan Lavarnway and pitcher Andrew Bailey- in their Big League camp.  OF Alex Hassan and pitcher Jesse Carlson are non-roster invitees.
 
At least one representative of every NECBL season from 1999 to 2009 is in a camp. The numbers validate the NECBL's position as a launching point for some of the best baseball talent in America. Over 75 participants in the NECBL have played in the Major Leagues.
 
The data is as of February 16th.
