As the 2021 Collegiate Baseball season winds down, student athletes turn their attention towards summer baseball leagues. Here in New England, we have so many outstanding summer baseball league opportunities for players. And some of the most highly regarded leagues in all of the United States, whose rosters include top Major League baseball prospects. In recent blogs, I have updated you on players from Rhode Island who have signed on to play for the prestigious New England Collegiate Baseball League, which has two Rhode Island teams, the Newport Gulls and the Ocean State Waves.
