2019 Can-Am League season


The 2019 Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball season began May 16 and ended September 2. It was the 15th season of operations for the league. Following the regular season, the playoffs were held. The New Jersey Jackals defeated the previous defending champions Sussex County Miners in the fourth game of the championship round on September 14, 2019. It was the Jackals’ fifth championship overall as a team for the first time in fifteen years, but it was their first championship title as a member of the Can-Am League.

Season summary

Once again, the Cuban National Baseball Team and Shikoku Island team both toured during the regular season, facing all six of the Can-Am League teams. This season also saw the Empire League playing four games. Shortly after this season, the Can-Am League merged with the Frontier League, absorbing five of its teams to make a total of 14 teams.

All-star game and home run derby

In the 2019 season, the league held a home run derby and all-star game. The events took place on July 9–10, 2019 at Palisades Credit Union Park, home of the Rockland Boulders.
