Perfect Game Summer Collegiate top prospect coverage

Summer-league teams in California (particularly in the northern half of the state) are typically in a constant state of flux, and nothing may symbolize the steady transition of clubs from one league to another more than the Pacific West League.

The PWL began operations in 2012, pulling most of its 10-team membership from the rival Far West League, but it’s possible that league will be reduced to just four teams in 2013 after a turbulent inaugural season. The league’s most-successful club, Top Speed Baseball, has since aligned with the restructured and rapidly-improving Far West League, and as many as five other teams have spun off to form yet another proposed first-year league, the Golden State Collegiate League.

In its one season in the PWL, Petaluma-based Top Speed Baseball dominated in all phases by posting the best record overall (38-21), winning the league championship series and dominating the accompanying list of the league’s 10 best prospects, securing the top five positions.
