2017 Summer Collegiate Top Prospect Index

www.capecodbaseball.org
Year Established: 1885
States Represented: Massachusetts
No. of Teams: 10
Best overall record: EAST - Orleans Firebirds (29-15) WEST - Falmouth Commordores (24-19-1)
Postseason Champion:  Brewster Whitecaps
No. 1 Prospect, 2016: Brady Singer, rhp, Yarmouth-Dennis (Florida)
First 2016 Player Selected, 2017 Draft: Pavin Smith, 1b, Harwich (Virginia; Diamondbacks/1st round)

Most Valuable Player: Greyson Jenista, of, Cotuit (Wichita State)
Outstanding Pitcher: Kris Bubic, lhp, Yarmouth (Stanford)
Top Pro Prospect (as selected by league): Griffin Conine, of, Cotuit (Duke)

The summer of 2017 on the Cape proved to be a fruitful one for scouting staffs as the talent was deep and more than a couple of players stepped up on the big stage to establish themselves of potential high first round selections next June. Orleans had a pair of aces in Stetson’s Logan Gilbert and Mississippi’s Ryan Rolison, both of whom could very easily have been named the No. 1 prospect in the league and appear to be early first round talents at this current junction.

Wichita State has a pair of big bats in Alec Bohm and Greyson Jenista to get excited about in the spring, and after monstrous summers Head Coach Todd Butler should have packed stands throughout the 2018 season. Jenista went on to win the league’s Most Valuable Player award while Duke’s Griffin Conine established himself as one of the best collegiate hitters in the country with a strong summer in Cotuit, hitting alongside Jenista in the heart of the order.

While Orleans and Cotuit both hard formidable lineups, it was the Brewster Whitecaps who was the last team standing, and did so in impressive fashion. Not only did Head Coach Jamie Shevchik’s club take each of their three series to a game three, they also had to go through the gauntlet of Eastern Division clubs as they thwarted Yarmouth-Dennis’ attempt at a four-peat before taking down one of the favorites in the Orleans Cardinals. Their 2-0 victory over the Bourne Braves in game three brought the CCBL Championship to Brewster for just the second time and for the first time since 2000.

With the summer coming after a long spring season, plenty of talented players made brief cameos on the Cape while others did a quick tour in Massachusetts before heading to the USA Collegiate National Team and thus weren’t included in the list below.

Also considered for the list was UC-Irvine's Cameron Bishop, a 26th round selection of the Baltimore Orioles, who ultimately signed with the club after impressing in his 11 innings on the Cape.

Top 30 Prospect Reports

1. Logan Gilbert, rhp, Orleans (Stetson/JR in 2018)
Within a few pitches of watching Stetson’s Logan Gilbert, the tall and ultra-projectable righthander quickly checks several boxes that scouts are looking for regarding a high-end, premier draft selection. And when you take everything Gilbert currently brings to the table and consider there’s a good chance he hasn’t hit his ceiling yet, you’re looking at one of the most interesting arms in all of college baseball. His athleticism is clear immediately as he controls his long 6-foot-6 frame like a pitcher who’s 6-foot-1, repeating his mechanics extremely well pitch-to-pitch with a deliberate tempo and an overall ease to his release. With his long levers Gilbert manages to work on top of the baseball very well, generating hard downhill plane on his fastball while sitting in the 93-96 mph range while showing the ability to locate to either side of the plate. It won’t come as much of a shock if reports begin to circulate this upcoming spring that Gilbert is running his fastball into the upper-90s as the physical projection, ease of arm action and continued refinements to his delivery all suggest another jump. Over 37 1/3 innings on the Cape Gilbert did nothing but fill the zone, miss bats and post zero after zero as he finished with a mere 1.93 ERA and better than a strikeout-per-inning while walking just six batters. His curveball will grade out above average at times, showing depth and bite through the zone into the low-80s while his slider offers more tilt in a similar velocity band.

Article Image
WWBA Sophomore Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 Ronin McCrea (2029, San Diego, Calif.) had an all-around performance at the plate, going two-for-two with two singles, two runs scored, and three RBIs. The right-handed hitter displayed a short, compact swing with a direct and efficient path to the baseball. McCrea showed excellent barrel control throughout the game, consistently producing hard line-drive contact to all parts of the field. Jayson Blanco (2029, Homestead, Fla.) was dominant on the mound, tossing a five-inning no-hitter while striking out six. The right-handed pitcher worked down the mound efficiently with a smooth, fluid delivery that helped him consistently attack the strike zone. Blanco featured a fastball that sat in the low-80s with sneaky life to it at the top of the zone, while mixing in a slower slider that generated swing-and-miss. Parker Miller (2029, Burleson,...

WWBA Sophomore Scout Notes: Day 1 Rhys Jones (2029, Mc Lean, Va.) was absolutely dominant on the bump to start off day 2 hanging an impressive 10 strikeouts in 5 innings. Running the heater up to 84 with arm side run and the breaking ball got swings and misses. The strike percentage stayed right over 55%, and he carried a no hitter into the 6th. Easy arm action with a high 3/4 slot and controls the move down the rubber.  Jevan McMenamy (2029, Fargo, N.D.) was all around solid today tallying two hits, an rbi, and a walk. In the box he works to the middle of the field in the approach and can elevate to all fields. Coils deep into the back hip and works through contact with strength. Quick feet around the bases and the barrel is fast.  Khian Escalana (2029, Ankeny, Iowa) was a heavy producer in this one collecting three hits, two of those being doubles. Also drove in three RBIs...

He kept the fastball down early and set hitters down by throwing it at the top of the zone. His changeup (70-71 mph) was used as his...

'29 CIF Benjamin Mills (FL) absolutely loses this baseball across the street for a loud HR (101 EV/424'). Huge juice w/ ball explodes coming off. #WWBAWorlds @Florida_PG @PSTeams_ pic.twitter.com/0WUgIqyr6t — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 25, 2026 Benjamin Mills (2029, Miramar, Fl.) showed off some extremely impressive juice in the 8 PM match. The corner infielder blasted an absolute no-doubter out to left field, exploding off of the barrel and soaring deep into the night sky. The ball came off with a 101 MPH exit velocity and traveled 424 feet, bouncing across the street. Mills is built extra strong and physical, creating easy strength. The impact upside is significant and it should be fun to track how the power continues to develop. '29 SS Todd Dulaney (IL) crushes this ball off the LF fence for a loud 2B (93 EV).

Southeast Jupiter Qualifier Scout Notes

Justin Mills (’27, Braselton, Ga.)- the 6-foot, 190-pound right-handed pitcher tossed a 6-inning complete game shutout for Dingers Scout in a 7-0 win over ECB Astros 18U Navy. The uncommitted Jackson County High School product struck out 12 batters and only walked one while controlling the zone at a 61% strike rate. Mills ran his fastball with arm side run up to 89 mph and consistently worked ahead in counts to stifle the Astros Navy lineup. He coupled it with a tight slider that showed late depth in the mid-70s to record eight swings-and-misses on the offering. A brilliant effort from Mills as he worked east and west while reading swings and avoiding barrels.   Brayden Barrett (’27, Canton, Ga.)- the 6-foot-1, 190-pound right-handed pitcher struck out six batters over 3 and 1/3 innings of relief for ECB Astros 18U Navy to get the win over Dirtbags Southeast.

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 68

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
Are You Fixated on the Wrong Variable? Why Pitch Count Alone Was Never Going to Prevent Arm Injuries   You know a family this happened to. You might be one. They did everything right. They followed the pitch count. They honored the rest days. They tracked innings. They sat him when the chart said sit. They were the parents who spoke up when a coach wanted one more inning in a bracket game. And he got hurt anyway. I've been working with throwers for a long time, and that conversation is the one I have quite often… A parent sitting across from me genuinely bewildered because they followed the rules and the rules did not work. They usually assume they missed something. Most of the time they didn't. They managed exactly what they were told to manage. The problem is that what they were told to manage is one variable out of four.   The Uncomfortable Part First   Throwing...
