Title: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: pmull on July 10, 2013, 04:16:48 PM Updates and stats on Bama players playing in wood bat leagues this summer.
Quote This summer, 14 players from the current Alabama baseball team roster continue to play in five different leagues across the country. Six guys are playing in the prestigious Cape Cod League, four are in the Northwoods League, two are in the Texas Collegiate League and one is playing in the New England Collegiate League and the Florida Collegiate League. The six players in the Cape Cod League are Ben Moore, Keaton Haack, Spencer Turnbull, Kyle Overstreet, Jon Keller and Justin Kamplain. http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/070913aab.html Title: Re: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 10, 2013, 04:33:57 PM I think this is great for the every day guys, but I hope none of our pitchers burn themselves out.
Title: Re: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: pmull on July 10, 2013, 04:47:13 PM These summer leagues are very good for the players. The college season is very short. All these guys need more work. They also get to play with some different teammates, see different pitchers/batters and get more coaching from a different staff.
I think we will be a much better team next year.

I know the Cape Cod League is the top wood bat summer league for college players. The competition is very good. Some of the stats are that that good but it will made them all better players. This is a very good experience for our young guys. Title: Re: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 17, 2013, 08:28:24 PM I wonder if these leagues have a MLB connection. Are they affiliated with a certain MLB team?

Yes, they have MLB connections. The Cape Cod league regularly puts former players in MLB and the minors. So much so the league is partially funded by MLB. Check out this website for information on the league, players and former players: http://www.capecodbaseball.org/about/welcome/ Title: Re: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 17, 2013, 08:56:41 PM The Cape Cod League is VERY impressive.
Quote One in seven current MLB players played in the Cape League. In the June 2012 First-Year Player Draft, 229 CCBL alumni were drafted, with 20 CCBL alumni players chosen in the first and supplementary rounds. :o Title: Re: Alabama Baseball Summer Update Post by: pmull on July 17, 2013, 08:59:28 PM The Cape Cod League is VERY impressive.

This just adds to the anxiety of what Bama may do next Spring :clap:

This just adds to the anxiety of what Bama may do next Spring :clap: I think this is a great opportunity for our players. The college season is short so this gives them more playing time. I have also heard the coaching in these summer leagues is very good. |
