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.

PG Draft: Jupiter Preview

Ryan Miller
Article Image
Jupiter has long been one of the best opportunities for draft eligible players to make an impression and this year’s field should be no different. With an elite collection of prospects all competing on the same fields, the event provides a valuable opportunity for players to establish themselves against some of the best competition in the class. This week’s WWBA World Championship could be a pivotal week for several prospects looking to make an impression and elevate their draft stock. Ahead of the event, the draft team each highlighted a sleeper prospect (someone who is currently not ranked in our board) to watch, as well as a current member of our Top-100 who could make a significant move up the rankings. Keep an eye on these names throughout the week as they look to make an impact and force their way up the board on our next update.  Top-100 Risers Jake Ivey...

WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 Hudson Covington (2028 Aliso Viejo, CA) has had himself a weekend at the dish, hitting an even .500 going into Championship Monday including a perfect 3-3 performance in the 2nd round of playoffs for TB SoCal. In just his 5th PG event, the uncommitted prospect is certainly making a name for himself with plenty of offensive tools to like. From the left side, Covington keeps the path direct and repeatable with a pull side & middle of the field approach displayed. He flashes high contact tool and does a great job of putting something in play with two strikes, limiting the swing/miss in the stroke with evident control of the barrel.

WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Richard Cruz Iii (2028, Chandler, Ariz.) has had a good weekend offensively, driving balls to the gaps with consistency. The barrel accuracy and fast hands stand out as the swing is super direct to contact and he can whip it with consistency. It’s a solid package of offensive tools that give upside at the middle infield position.    ‘28 OF Thomas Shank (CO) comes thru again with an RBI knock to secure the run rule. Really moves the barrel around w/ excellent B2B. #WWBAWorlds @PG_FourCorners https://t.co/22TfZij9ZV pic.twitter.com/lEFBce5Zii — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) October 3, 2026 Thomas Shank (2028, Castle Pines, Colo.) had two more hits during the 8am slot and continues to shine in terms of the hit tool.

Strength is clear for the coastal kid standing at 6-foot, 195 pounds with power generated from the lower half. Starting from a slightly crouched, quiet base, McRae displays dangerous barrel whip and to say he impacts it with authority would be an understatement. It’s safe to say he can put...
