RCBL Selects Jeremy Washington as New Commissioner

The Rockingham County Baseball League Board of Directors has voted Jeremy Washington in as the new commissioner of the league, effective immediately. Washington will replace Lisa Hart, who served as commissioner the past two seasons from 2021-2022.

Washington has been involved with the league intensively since being instrumental in the Grottoes Cardinals re-instatement to the league in 2015. He has served in a league capacity for several positions including Pointstreak coordinator, Chief of Umpires, and Vice-Commissioner.

New RCBL Commissioner Jeremy Washington - “I’ve always known the league was something very special and unique. After entering the league in 2015, I realized how important the league is to area baseball.  I'm very proud and honored to be affiliated with such an essential, community-based baseball organization.  I'm very excited about the future of the league and I look forward to being a contributor to its success.”

Lisa Hart will remain active in the league, heading up the scheduling committee.

Chris Rush, coach of the Montezuma Braves and the previous League Historian was elected as the Vice-Commissioner. Rush brings coaching experience with several teams and is an active league board member.

Replacing Rush as Historian is Joe McNett, President of the Montezuma Braves. McNett has been involved in the league for a long time. In 2022 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Braves. He also led the effort this past summer in bringing back a game of RCBL Legends.

In upcoming meetings, the board will focus on a schedule and rule review for 2023.
