With the World Baseball Classic taking place over the last few weeks and into the next few, it would be against our best judgment not to look into where all the junior college ties lie across all the teams.

We may have missed a few, so if we did, please let us know and we can update the list as the ones we missed come in.

There were representations from the NJCAA (both Divisions 1 and 2) and the CCCAA.

There was a Junior College Representative on 12 of the Teams that took place in the WBC.
