Varsity Baseball

Our team competes in the Central New England Prep School Baseball League. Our team has won three consecutive New England Championships and reached the finals of the League Championship in 2019 and 2022. We aim to field the most competitive team while preparing athletes for collegiate play. In recent years, many Dexter Southfield baseball players have gone on to play for programs at top colleges and universities across the country.
