HCBL Teams
The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is home to six teams, each rooted in the character, history, and natural beauty of the East End communities they represent.
The Riverhead Tomcats play on the former Grumman site and take their name from the legendary F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, a nod to Long Island’s aviation history. The Westhampton Aviators honor the 106th Rescue Wing, with the C-130 transport plane featured as part of the team’s logo. The North Fork Ospreys reflect one of the region’s most recognizable birds, often seen nesting across the North Fork.
The Sag Harbor Whalers pay homage to Sag Harbor’s historic role as a whaling port, while the Southampton Breakers draw inspiration from the surf and shoreline of Cooper’s Beach, widely recognized as one of the top beaches in the country. The Shelter Island Bucks take their name from the island’s large deer population, a familiar part of life on Shelter Island.
Together, these six teams capture what makes Hamptons baseball unique: competitive collegiate talent, proud local communities, and a summer setting unlike anywhere else. From historic village fields to coastal towns and working waterfronts, every HCBL team carries a name that means something to the place it calls home.
