From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of collegiate summer baseball leagues. Most of these amateur leagues use wooden baseball bats. Generally, they operate from early June to early August.
The unpaid, amateur baseball players involved have attended at least one year of college and have at least one year of athletic eligibility remaining. To find a collegiate summer team, they work with their college coaches and prospective teams' general managers. They report to summer leagues after completing their spring collegiate season with their NCAA, NAIA, and community/junior college teams. Some players arrive late due to their college team's postseason play, which sometimes runs into early June. In some cases, players are drafted during the collegiate summer season. These draftees can remain with their collegiate summer team until they sign a professional contract. During the season, players are housed by volunteer host families and bussed to and from road games.
The leagues vary greatly in their attendances, quality of play, and ability to attract scouts. The Cape Cod League is considered the premier collegiate summer league.[1][2] As of March 2011, Baseball America is scouting and ranking Top 10 prospects from 18 leagues[3], indicated below with (BA). OurSportsCentral.com is following 9 leagues (OSC)'[4] and Ballpark Digest is tracking attendance for 12 leagues[5], indicated below with (BD).
