NECBL is very competitive and Keene has traditionally been pretty good. However, I don't think they were as good last year as they have been in the past. Son has a couple of friends who have played in Keene, including last year. Older ballpark, but nice enough. Keene is a very small city, has a college campus and everything available he will need. The town has a reputation of doing a good job supporting the team. It's a good summer assignment, congratulations to your son. If you have other questions, I can try to answer them.
He can't go wrong playing in Keene. It's my favorite non coastal town in New England. Very safe although a 19 or 20 year old might find it a little boring. As mentioned above it's an older stadium but has a great atmosphere. For an area that's not big on baseball they get a very good crowd. He might have 4 away games within an hour and a half bus ride, the rest will probable be 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. Good luck!
When my son played in the NECBL we went to a game in Keane. They had a good crowd with lots of families. The volunteers did a great job, the game was fun and well run. Keane would be a great place to spend a summer.
