The college baseball season has been over for nearly a week, and though players from South Carolina and Florida just now are reporting for summer league duty, many players around the country have been in the act since the beginning of June.

We continue our in-depth summer league coverage with roundups from various summer leagues each day of the week.

Today, we take an inside look at notable performances from the Cape Cod League, Northwoods League, Coastal Plains League and New England Collegiate League.

Thursday, we’ll take an inside look at the Alaska League, Perfect Game Collegiate League, California Coastal League and Valley Baseball League.

Cape Cod League

Player of the Day: OF Victor Roache, Georgia Southern
Roache put together a fantastic campaign this past spring for the Eagles and isn’t disappointing this summer. He slammed another home run as he helped lead Cotuit to a dominant 11-2 win over Bourne. Roache now has hit four home runs in 61 at bats this summer. On Tuesday, he went a perfect 3-for-3 with a home run, three runs scored and three RBIs. For the summer, he’s hitting .344 with four home runs and 15 RBIs. Also worth noting is the fact he has walked 13 times and struck out on 15 occasions.

Five standout performances

1B Ryan Healy, Oregon: While Roache led the way for the Kettleers, Healy also had a very productive day at the plate. He went 2-for-3 with a home run – his first of the season – a run scored and three RBIs. The performance was a boost for Healy, who still finishes the night hitting just .244 so far this summer.

SS Eric Garcia, Missouri: Falmouth had a huge night with a 15-6 triumph over Wareham. But most impressive was Garcia’s hitting performance against the Gatemen. Garcia went 3-for-4 with a home run (his first of the summer), two runs scored and four RBIs. Overall, Garcia is hitting .235 with a home run and nine RBIs in 51 at bats. He has struck out 13 times and walked on nine occasions.

LHP Tim Cooney, Wake Forest: Cooney consistently rose to the occasion for the Demon Deacons this past spring, and did the same on Tuesday. Cooney was excellent in Chatham’s 3-2 win over Yarmouth-Dennis. He struck out eight batters and allowed just five hits in seven shutout innings. For the summer, he has a 5.11 ERA in 24 2/3 innings.

RHP Scott Griggs, UCLA: The Bruins will need some arms to step up in 2012 and Griggs might just be one of those guys. He helped lead Brewster to an 8-1 win over Orleans. He struck out four batters and allowed just one hit in 5 1/3 shutout innings. Overall, he has an impressive 1.93 ERA in 14 innings.

2B Jake Rodriguez, Oregon State: The Beavers have to be happy with what Rodriguez is accomplishing this summer. He had a tremendous performance in Falmouth’s 15-6 win over Wareham. He went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and four RBIs. Overall, he’s hitting .288 with six RBIs in 59 at bats.

Northwoods League

Player of the Day: C Jeremy Lucas, Indiana State
Waterloo received several notable performances in its 16-2 win over La Crosse, and it was led Lucas that led the way at the plate.

He also has struck out 34 and walked 13.

LHP Sam Selman, Vanderbilt: Selman will be a hot commodity for the Commodores next spring with the departures of all three weekend starters. Good thing he started the summer in solid fashion. He tossed a gem in Mankato’s 8-1 win over St. Cloud. He struck out two and allowed just a run on five hits in five innings.

OF David Hendrickson, Illinois: Hendrickson is another Waterloo player that had a fantastic night at the plate. He went 4-for-6 with three runs scored and an RBI. For the summer, he’s hitting .317 with five doubles, three triples and 10 RBIs in 104 at bats.

New England Collegiate League

Player of the Day: RHP Brian Gilbert, Seton Hall

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things.  C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag. Add-in a rocket for an arm, the ability to change slots and to...

Scout Stories: Part 5

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...

College Notebook: December 12

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Highlights: The Cornhuskers were a difficult team to figure in ’25 as they finished with 33 wins, played just .500 (15-15) in the Big Ten but had some big wins at various times during the season and got hot at the right time. They knocked off then #16 Vanderbilt in the second game of the year, beat #5 Oregon State 2-out-of-3 at home in late March and then got hot at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to win the Big Ten Tournament. They beat Michigan State in a 10-inning thriller before taking care of #4 Oregon, knocking off Penn State and then shutout #13 UCLA to punch their ticket to the Chapel Hill Regional. Head coach Will Bolt has now led his alma mater to three conference titles and three NCAA Regional appearances during his six years in Lincoln. No different than when he was a player, Bolt’s teams play with passion and toughness, this was never more...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 You like athletes? You like defenders who can impact a game at any given point? Look not further than this class as it's loaded from coast-to-coast with elite defenders all over the diamond.  C: Brogan Witcher, Bakersfield, CA Our scouting staff got several strong looks at Witcher whether that was at the Summer Kickoff, Sophomore National or the Underclass All American Games where he showcased his strong overall skillset and especially his advanced ability behind the plate. His 6-foot-3,180 pound build looks like one that will fill in quite nicely and be that big and physical catcher’s frame. His arm talent is undeniable where he gets it out quick and runs it up to 79 mph on throwdowns to 2nd (1.84 pop). Besides the standout catch/throw ability, we’ve seen him frame/receive strong arms and block it well during...

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division. We would like to thank those that donated a toy, and know that they will be distributed to area underprivileged children through a local charity organization. Following are some of the top performers from the weekend. Earning Tournament MV-Pitcher was Jolee Strohmeyer (2026 Dubuque, IA), a RHP/UTIL with tournament champion Lady Expos Blue. Strohmeyer shows hitters a consistent and repeatable motion and delivery with good use of the legs in the drive phase, and a quick and aggressive arm whip. Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement  as she worked her rise and curve just out...

Scout Notes: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Best Game I Saw: Hudson Reed (‘26, GA) torches this ball to deep CF for a solo 💣. Generates easy power that plays to the big part of the yard. Middle of the order traits #UBCWest @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/UXqDVFmUBx — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) June 18, 2025 I was fortunate enough to see a lot of highly competitive games with loads of talent on the field, the game that sticks out to me the most was Alpha Prime 2026 vs. ZT National Prospects at the UBC West. The game was an efficiently played affair with arms dominating on both sides. Graham Schlicht was masterful for Alpha, striking out 12 hitters over 5 dominant innings. PG All-American Julian Cazares came out of the pen blowing smoke, touching 97 mph with the fastball. On the other side, Jake Carbaugh surrendered just one hit and...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2027

AJ Denny
Article Image
Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 Elite defenders from coast to coast certainly seems to be a strength and to think you could make another top-tier team without thinking, speaks to the real depth this group possesses. The infield is a no-doubt strength of the group, but what catcher Dariel Carrion can do behind the plate is like something we haven't seen in a while in the prep ranks with an absolutely bazooka of an arm.  C: Dariel Carrion (San Juan, PR)  It isn’t often you get a catching prospect as athletic and natural as Dariel Carrion, a big reason why he holds the rank of #1 player in PR and #18 nationally. Metrics wise, the 5-foot-10, 210 pound San Juan native is all you can ask for and more, posting a sub 1.80 pop time with an 84 mph arm behind the dish. He has both contact and clear power threat on the offensive end, ending 2025 with a .337 BA and 4 HRs while also...

The Class of 2026 is one of the deeper prep classes that we have seen in a couple of years. With that being said, there is plenty of talent on the defensive side. Let’s take a look at some of the best defenders in the class.  C: Will Brick, Christian Brothers HS (Memphis, TN) Brick is a newcomer to the class after reclassifying, but immediately became the top backstop. Extremely advanced actions are shown behind the dish with impressive athleticism to go with it. Brick showcases big time arm strength and is consistently accurate on throw downs. He can make playing the position look extremely easy at times. Brick possesses all the defensive tools needed to be a premier catcher.  1B: AJ Curry, University City HS (San Diego, CA) Curry has a bigger and stronger frame with good strength throughout. He has a well-proportioned build that serves him well on the dirt. He’s...

Youth Baseball Executive Don DeDonatis III Joins PG By Jim Salisbury  It’s free-agent season in baseball and Perfect Game has landed a big one. Don DeDonatis III joined PG as a consultant in November. The DeDonatis name is synonymous with youth baseball and softball. Along with his dad, Don Jr., DeDonatis helped build USSSA into a big hitter in the game. He brings decades of experience and knowledge to PG. “We all acknowledge that Donny has moved on from USSSA,” PG CEO Rob Ponger said. “This is a new chapter for him and we hope both sides take advantage of it to help youth sports in general. “The DeDonatis name has a legacy attached to it and we’re hoping that Donny is going to help us.
