The 2026 Muskingum Valley League baseball season has drawn to a close, concluding a competitive year that saw West Muskingum and Sheridan rise to the top of their respective divisions.
League officials recently released the all‑MVL teams, recognizing the players and coaches whose performances defined the campaign and set new standards for excellence on the diamond.
Honors Across the Board
In the Big School Division, Sheridan’s Noah Wamer earned the prestigious Player of the Year honor, while Connor Roshon was celebrated as the division’s Pitcher of the Year. Sheridan’s head coach, Josh Coleman, was likewise named Coach of the Year for his strategic leadership.
West Muskingum’s standout Ashton Ansel captured Player of the Year in the Small School Division, with Grady Dollings taking the Pitcher of the Year award. The team’s coach, Tom Crowley, also received Coach of the Year recognition.
These accolades underscore a season marked by dominant performances from both programs, each of which finished the schedule with impressive win‑loss records and solidified their places among the league’s elite.
The MVL, a coalition of high schools spread across eastern Ohio, continues to nurture talent that often moves on to collegiate and professional opportunities, reflecting the region’s strong baseball tradition.
Fans and alumni alike are already looking ahead to next year’s slate, hopeful that the same schools — including John Glenn, Philo, Tri‑Valley, Coshocton, Crooksville, Maysville, Meadowbrook, Morgan, New Lexington, River View, and others — will keep the competition fierce.
