Sag Harbor’s Jack Gold (Pomona-Pitzer) had one of the greatest seasons in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League. The league’s coaches recognized Gold at the 2024 league Most Valuable Player.
Gold was the first person in the history of the HCBL to be recognized as a unanimous MVP getting a first-place vote on all six HCBL coaches’ ballots.
The California native hit .450 for the Whalers which set a new official HCBL record in batting average with nine home runs and 34 RBI. Gold became the second player in the history of the HCBL to win the triple crown and the first since 2009 HCBL MVP Peter Greskoff (Brown) did it for the Riverhead Tomcats.
Gold is the first HCBL MVP for the Sag Harbor Whalers since Kyle Crean (Albany) in the Whalers’ expansion season back in 2008.
