2010 Baseball America Top Prospects for Summer Leagues and Team USA

2.6K

FROM BASEBALL AMERICA RELEASE

DURHAM, N.C.–The Pacific-10 Conference dominated Baseball America’s top prospects lists for 18 summer college leagues and Team USA, which have been posted at BaseballAmerica.com. The Pac-10 leads all conferences with 30 players on the lists and six players ranking as the No. 1 prospects in their respective leagues.

BA ranked the top 30 prospects for the talent-rich Cape Cod League, the top 20 prospects in the Northwoods League, and the top 10 prospects in 16 other summer college leagues. In addition, the top 20 Team USA prospects were ranked.

Stanford and Oregon led the way for the Pac-10. The Cardinal placed seven players on the lists, including three players at No. 1: Kenny Diekroeger in the New England Collegiate League, Chris Reed in the Atlantic Collegiate League and Jake Stewart in the Alaska League. Oregon was right behind with six players on the lists and two players at No. 1 (rising freshmen Stefan Sabol and Ryon Healy of the West Coast and California Collegiate leagues, respectively). Southern California and Arizona State also were well represented, with five players apiece cracking lists.

Vanderbilt tied Stanford with seven players on the lists, including Jason Esposito, who appeared in both the Cape Cod League list and the Team USA list. The Commodores also landed one player at the top spot in a league: Navery Moore in the Prospect League. The SEC placed the second-most players on the lists with 22.

Connecticut also fared well, landing four players on lists. Like Esposito, UConn stars George Springer and Matt Barnes both appeared on the Cape and Team USA lists.

Teams that have placed the most players on BA’s summer league lists have generally experienced success the following spring. Last year, Mississippi and Washington State led all schools with five players apiece on the lists, and both teams went on to earn No. 2 seeds in regionals. And two summers ago, Louisiana State and Texas each led the nation with five players apiece on BA’s summer league lists, and those two teams wound up facing off for the national championship at the College World Series the following spring.
