You know what never gets old? Talking about how much talent is on the Cape. I seriously don’t get tired of it. You can point to so many things, and you don’t really even need to make the case, because everyone agrees. But still, I’m all about tooting the Cape League’s horn.
Today’s Exhibit: Baseball America’s Preseason All-America Teams
There are a total of 48 players on the three teams. Thirty-four of them have played in the Cape League.
The list includes stars from last summer like Grant Green, A.J. Pollock and Chris Dominguez, as well as standouts from the year before like Kyle Gibson, Josh Phegley, and Ryan Jackson.
Also, in a nod to just how much a big summer on the Cape can set the stage for a big year, several players who emerged last summer find themselves on the list. The names include Ben Tootle, Marc Krauss, Ben Paulsen, Dallas Poulk and Tim Wheeler.
All in all, the Cape League will certainly leave a stamp on the college baseball landscape this spring.
