Cape Cod Baseball League 2019The start of the 2019 Cape Cod Baseball League season is just weeks away, on June 10th, and summer can’t be too far behind!

Major League Baseball may not leap instantly to mind when you think of Cape Cod, but if you’re a fan, maybe it should. The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) has been around since 1885 – and it’s been the premier college summer baseball league since the 1960s.

This means that many of the very best college players can be found displaying their talent right here on the Cape. More than 1,100 major league players have played in the Cape League over the years, several of which are now Hall of Famers.

In recent years, 1 in every 4 players drafted in the amateur MLB draft spent at least one summer playing in the CCBL. In fact, of the 11 summer leagues sanctioned by the NCAA, none have had more former players in the majors than the Cape League.

What this means for you (as well as the big league scouts) is an opportunity to see future MLB and Hall of Fame players on the field at the very start of their careers. You’d be hard pressed to find such a concentration of amateur talent like this anywhere else.

For a special treat, show up early to a Cape League game to catch the players in batting practice. Many of the teams practice “Early Optional Batting Practice” 3 or so hours before the official pre-game workouts. It’s a great opportunity to see these young ball players in action from a ringside seat!
