Launchpad Thumb Guard Joins NECBL as Official Sponsor for 2025 Season
North Adams, MA – The New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) is proud to announce a new sponsorship agreement with Launchpad Thumb Guard, naming Launchpad as the exclusive thumb guard partner of the NECBL for the 2025 season. This exciting partnership, announced by NECBL Commissioner Sean McGrath, will provide thumb guards to players across the league and a special discount for league fans.
Already used by a number of pros, Launchpad is the only thumb guard designed specifically for left- or right-handed batters, featuring a unique bat-shaped channel that helps enhance grip, stability, and swing mechanics. NECBL players will also be among the first players in baseball to get their hands on Launchpad’s 2.0 design, which brings a number of improvements and will launch publicly later this spring..
"The New England League strives to provide the best summer experience possible, and that includes working with the latest technology and leading equipment," said Commissioner McGrath. "We are excited to introduce Launchpad's thumb guard to our entire league this summer. Players will have the opportunity to test and utilize the thumb guard as they transition to swinging wooden bats."
“We are excited to partner with the NECBL, one of the premier summer collegiate leagues in the country, to introduce our technology,” said Chris Cohen, Founder of Launchpad. “The growth of the league, with a record 67 players signed to MLB contracts in 2024, is impressive. As we continue to evolve our brand and build our products, it’s important we align with partners that have enormous reach and capabilities like the NECBL.”
