Fans' Choice: Who is the Taunton Daily Gazette Baseball Player of the Season?

Cameron Merritt, The Taunton Daily Gazette

The high school baseball regular season has come to a close in the Greater Taunton area.

Back-to-back Division 1 champions Taunton (18-4, 14-2 Hockomock) once again led the way locally, riding an eight game win streak into the playoffs. Dighton-Rehoboth (13-7, 9-6 South Coast Conference) continued their rise and will host an opening round matchup in the Division 3 tournament.

Bridgewater-Raynham (6-13, 3-4 Southeast Conference) had a bit of a rebuilding year but still put in some solid performances while Bristol-Plymouth (8-10, 6-4 Mayflower Athletic Conference) stayed in contention for a playoff spot but ultimately fell short.
