The summer baseball season is an interesting time for the collegiate calendar. The NCAA Tournament is winding down with the completion of the Super Regionals round. Eight teams remain awaiting trips to Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series, a double-elimination bracket and eventual best-of-three series to determine the national champion.
While those eight teams decide their collective fate, the summer leagues around the nation begin kicking into gear. Throughout the nation, dozens of leagues - both metal bat and wooden bat - start up with the intention of providing players with further development. Instead of playing alongside college teammates, they'll be authorized to play for teams throughout the nation, both close to and far away from home, both with and against players both familiar and unfamiliar.
