The twitter page for Beesball.com, a Georgia Tech baseball web site, is reporting that sophomore shortstop Derek Dietrich will go directly to Wareham this summer, rather than Team USA. The Gatemen twitter page has confirmed the news. Dietrich was on Wareham’s roster last year but played for Team USA. He was again on the invite list this year, but apparently has opted for Wareham.
Team USA has added a few more players to the list with Cape connections: Ohio State’s Alex Wimmers (Bourne) and Texas Tech’s Chad Bettis (Falmouth). That brings the total of invites up to 36, which I think is the final number. If someone replaces Dietrich, then I guess there would be one more.
By my count, 23 of the 36 are on Cape League rosters.

I want to know when you are going to do a report on Cape Cod alumni playing in the Midwest League, and bring me on as a guest blogger to give a report.
Owen Serey, ladies and gentleman, the best broadcaster in the Midwest League, and probably all of baseball.
Most famous commenter in the history of RFF, by far.
I would love a Midwest League report.
