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.

Texas Defends Home Turf at All State

Texas American Dominates for the 12U All-State Select Championship A run-rule, 11-3 victory over California National sealed the deal for Texas American’s 12U PG National All-State Select Championship win. 6 different players combined for Texas American’s 11 total runs - Ishmael Ruiz knocked in 2 runs with a double in the bottom of the second, Cannon Hughes knocked in 5 runs with 2, 2-run home runs in the first and second innings and an RBI walk to seal the game. Though it’s clear Texas American’s offense was explosive, right-handed pitcher Martin Vazquez did his part on the mound, striking out 6 batters and only dealing 1 walk in his 4 innings and 61 pitches of work. Earlier in the tournament, Lucas Bingham, the tournament’s MVPitcher, struck out 11 batters over 6.1 innings in his outing - and despite that impressive stat line - Bingham said he was not...

Florida Offense Paces All State Crown

Florida National got off to a hot start in Monday’s championship game against Texas National. Scoring all their runs in the first and second inning, Florida National held off Texas National and won 5-3 for the 14U PG National All-State Select Championship title. An electric and fun-filled weekend all led up to this final game on Field 3 at Premier Baseball of Texas. The players geared up under the lights for what would surely be another great meeting between stacked teams. Texas National was up to bat first, but Florida’s pitcher, Lucas Diaz, struck out 2 batters in a row before fielding a ground ball for the third out. Though the bottom of the first started with a strikeout for Florida National, Diaz reached first base on a dropped passed ball and Jayden Portes got on with a walk. With two on and only one out, Florida National was primed to pounce. Lucas Viera singled to...

A loose, whip arm hides the ball well into a tough low 3/4 slot. The fastball sits in the low-90’s. Both a sweeping slider and curveball are spun well.
