2013 Summer Collegiate Top Prospect coverage
Hamptons League Top Prospect list (free)


Hamptons Collegiate Baseball was established in 2007 with the express goal of bringing a competitive brand of summer baseball to the exclusive Hamptons region on Long Island. In time, the organization hoped to establish a league that one day might rival the Cape Cod League not only in structure, but in national stature.

From one club in 2008 that participated in the nearby Atlantic Collegiate League, to seven clubs in 2012 that formed their own division in the ACBL, the lofty goals of the Hamptons organization began to fall into place, if not in baby steps. But the biggest development in the evolution of the Hamptons Collegiate League occurred last November when the seven-team organization elected to break away from the ACBL and form a league of its own, with 2013 its first year of operation.

From a playing standpoint, there was little to distinguish 2013 from 2012 on the Hamptons, though observers familiar with the league thought the pitching overall was a little deeper this summer, while the quality of the position talent wasn’t quite so apparent. Appropriately, seven of the top nine players on the accompanying list of top prospects are pitchers, though the No. 1 prospect is an outfielder, North Fork’s Nick Heath. Pitching also dominated a corresponding ACBL survey from a year ago, when the first nine players were from the Hamptons Division, with pitchers occupying the first five spots.

With its destination location on an exclusive island within striking distance of a major Northeast city, along with a similar operating philosophy, the HCBL is similar to the Cape Cod League in geography and many other respects, but its challenge going forward will be to secure talent more in line with the elite-level prospects that find their way to the 129-year-old Cape League each summer. On that score, the fledgling, young Hamptons League still has its work cut out for it.

TOP 20 PROSPECTS

1. NICK HEATH, of, North Fork Ospreys (Northwestern State/RS-FR in 2014)
For a player who was red-shirted as a freshman at Northwestern State, Heath’s performance on the summer for North Fork was eye opening. He hit .326-2-18 and played center field on a daily basis for the league-champion Ospreys, but his real impact came in his role as a leadoff hitter for the team as he led the Hamptons League with 35 runs, four triples and 33 walks, while finishing one off the league lead in stolen bases, with 34 bags in 40 attempts. Heath was second in the running for league MVP, but earned the nod in the playoffs by leading the Ospreys, who were dead-last in the league at one point in the second half, to an unexpected title. He went 5-for-11 in the best-of-3 championship series, and scored both runs in his team’s dramatic 2-1 win over Center Moriches in the third and deciding encounter, with the winning tally coming in the bottom of the eighth inning when he reached base on an infield single, stole second and scored on a double. Heath was easily the best and most dangerous player in the league by the end of the season. The 6-foot, 170-pound Kansas product most impressed scouts with his game-changing speed, which impacted all areas of his game in positive ways. He was clocked in the 60-yard dash at the league all-star game in a lightning-quick 6.44 seconds, but was hardly a one-dimensional talent as he also showed sound hitting ability, line-drive power, solid base-running skills and an ability to run down balls in the outfield. Heath still remains raw in several areas of his game. He will need to work on shortening his swing, particularly in two-strike counts, while improving his instincts both on the bases and in the field. Most of the issues he needs to work on should be addressed by simply playing the game on an everyday basis over the next two college seasons.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...

643 DP Last Team Standing at East WS

Will Dembo

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...
