NJ Baseball: Coaches' 2025 All-GMC and All-Division teams
As it does every year, the coaches in the Greater Middlesex Conference are honoring their top baseball players with their All-Conference and All-Division teams, and Players of the Year.
The All-Conference squad includes eleven players from the GMC Red Division, five from the White Division, and one from the Blue, representing 12 different schools, while St. Joseph-Metuchen’s first-year veteran skipper Dennis McCaffery was named coach of the year.
Overall, 69 players were recognized from 27 of the 33 teams in the league.
The Falcons finished fourth in the challenging and very balanced GMC Red Division, but won the Jim Muldowney GMC Tournament Championship via four straight walk-off wins, including 7-4 in the title game over Edison on a grand slam by JP Zayle, never having led at any time in their four tournament games.
Six GMC teams are still alive in the state playoffs, with four of them – Old Bridge, Colonia, South Plainfield and Middlesex – playing Thursday in sectional finals, while St. Joe’s and St. Thomas Aquinas are in the sectional semifinal stage, with games on tap Wednesday.
