Year Established: 1885
States Represented: Massachusetts
No. of Teams: 10
Best overall record: EAST â€“ Orleans Firebirds (29-15) WEST â€“ Falmouth Commodores (25-19-1)

No. 1 Prospect, 2017: Logan Gilbert, rhp, Orleans (Stetson)
First 2017 Player Selected, 2018 Draft: Joey Bart, c, Harwich (Georgia Tech; Giants/1st round)

Most Valuable Player: MatthewBarefoot, of, Hyannis (Campbell)
Outstanding Pitcher: Adam Laskey, lhp, Wareham (Duke)
Top Pro Prospect (as selected by league): J.J. Bleday, of, Orleans (Vanderbilt)

As we see every summer, the 2018 season on the Cape saw swarms of scouts flocking to Massachusetts as they began their lists for the 2019 June draft. Whether players are from a Power 5 program or a mid-major, they were able to leave their mark as they established themselves among the best. That includes players like J.J. Bleday of Vanderbilt, who took home the league’s Top Pro Prospect award, or Matthew Barefoot of Campbell, who was honored as the league’s MVP after hitting an impressive .379 over 140 regular season at-bats.

Due to the scheduling of the USA Collegiate National Team this summer several players were able to make longer reservations on the Cape this summer, leaving their mark on the league as each of the top four prospects suited up for the Red, White and Blue. The Pac-12 slug-fest last spring between Cal’s Andrew Vaughn and Arizona State’s Spencer Torkelson continued on the Cape as Torkelson blasted 10 home runs while Vaughn countered with five, though his overall hit tool and comfort in the box earned him the top spot on this list.

While the list is position player heavy at the top, West Virginia righthander Alek Manoah made arguably as much noise as anybody this summer, proving to be not only a physical presence at 6-foot-7, 270-pounds, but also one with a big arsenal highlighted by a fastball that topped out at 97 mph. Pitchers are showcased up and down the list, some with big stuff others with advanced pitchability and feel. Adam Laskey of Duke was tabbed the league’s Most Outstanding Pitcher after a big summer on the mound.

At the end of the summer it the Wareham Gatemen who hoisted the Arnold Mycock Trophy, sweeping the championship over the Chatham Anglers. Just as he had all summer, Florida International’s Austin Shenton continued to a hot bat, going 2-for-4 with three RBI in the clincher, allowing head coach Don Sneddon and the Gatemen to bring a championship back to Wareham for the first time since 2012. Shenton was named the PG/Rawlings Summer Collegiate Player of the Year as a result.

Top 30 Prospect Reports

1. Andrew Vaughn, 1b, Wareham (California/JR in 2019)
While he may not have the typical build often associated with first base at 5-foot-11, Vaughn arrived on campus as a primary infielder and could potentially move to a corner outfield position at the next level. Wherever Vaughn eventually calls home defensively there will be no mistaking his abilities with the stick as he has as much of a track record as any in college baseball. Vaughn has done nothing but shine during his first two years at Cal hitting .349-12-50 as a true freshman before taking home the Golden Spikes award last spring after hitting .402-23-63. His swing is geared to an all-fields approach with plenty of barrel skill and lots of strength, showing easy plus raw power while showing an advanced approach at the dish. Simply put, Vaughn is one of the best pure hitters with some of the best strength the 2019 draft class has to offer and he topped it off with an exceptional stint on the Cape in which he hit .306-5-14 prior to his time with USA.

2028: Under-the-Radar Names to Know

Joey Cohen
Article Image
2028 Post-Circuit Dive: Under-the-Radar Names to Know One of my favorite parts of the calendar comes after the summer and fall circuits have wrapped, when I can finally sit down, dig through our tournament performance data and uncover some names that may have slipped through the cracks. With hundreds of events on the schedule and thousands of players coming through them, there's inevitably going to be talent that I or even our collective staff haven't given enough attention to. For this exercise, I wanted to isolate a particular offensive profile. I looked for 2028 bats who produced at a high level while keeping their swing-and-miss numbers in check across a sample of at least 50 plate appearances. On the pitching side, the approach was equally straightforward in terms of identifying arms who consistently filled the strike zone while missing bats at a strong clip. Of course, not all...

WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in Fort Myers were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) batted leadoff and stuck at the hot corner for Texas Twelve Red Sox 2028 in Fort Myers. The Texas native has the looks a young left-handed power bat and the swing is built for it. Langerhans produces easy bat speed, delivering a fast and leveraged barrel through the zone. He creates backspin and uses the ground well, really getting into the legs. The infielder has excellent power projection and took comfortable, intentful cuts in the box. Langerhans got the job done at the top of the order...

Continued to shine at the top of the lineup as the left-handed hitter is your prototypical leadoff hitter, consistently finding a way on and scoring. Takes quality at-bats with an above average awareness of the strike zone. Loose hands with easy bat speed that find the barrel often for hard line drives into the gaps that frequently turn into XBHs. Confident and balanced approach. Also...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs. Stays tight in the turn with present strength and the approach plays to all fields....

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend. Offensively, she batted .444 with 5 RBIs and an impressive 6 stolen bases, which led the tournament. She also scored 6 runs for her team and...
