    Cape Cod League Update: The 2014 MLB Draft

    With this, I suppose it really is the end of my Cape League series. The 2014 Draft marks the last time pre-Majors that I’ll hear about this large of a group of players from the 2012 Cape League (some of them still might be in the draft next year, but not on this overall scale). So, just like I did last year, here’s a list of the 2012 alumni who were taken in this year’s draft:


    Player: Kyle Schwarber
    Pick: Round 1, Pick 4
    Position: C (LF on the Cape)
    Cape League Team: Wareham Gatemen
    College: Indiana
    Major League Team: Chicago Cubs
    I didn’t get to see a lot of eventual champion Wareham, but Schwarber was impressive the few times that I did see them. I featured him in my team write-up.


    Player: Aaron Nola
    Pick: Round 1, Pick 7
    Position: RHP
    Cape League Team: Harwich Mariners
    College: LSU
    Major League Team: Philadelphia Phillies


    Player: Jeff Hoffman
    Pick: Round 1, Pick 9
    Position: RHP
    Cape League Team: Hyannis Harbor Hawks
    College: East Carolina
    Major League Team: Toronto Blue Jays
    Hoffman was the second half of Hyannis’s 1-2 punch that also featured last year’s first round pick Sean Manaea.


    Player: Michael Conforto
    Pick: Round 1, Pick 10
    Position: OF
    Cape League Team: Brewster Whitecaps
    College: Oregon State
    Major League Team: New York Mets

    2012 Cape Cod League Standouts: Chatham Anglers

    While the Falmouth Commodores were probably my home team this past season, the Chatham Anglers were a close second. Nine of the 27 games I attended were at Chatham's Veteran's Field, and the Anglers played in twelve of my total games. Like the Commodores, the Anglers were the third seed in their division; Chatham went 21-21-2, tying them with the Orleans Firebirds (Chatham won the season series between the two, 4 games to 2, giving them the edge in the tiebreaker). And, like the Commodores, despite being swept in the first round, plenty of players demonstrated their talent for the team this year.
