It’s been a few weeks since the baseball season ended for the Tar Heels, but unlike other sports, the end of the college season brings about a new chance for the players to continue to play: summer leagues.
Baseball really is unique in this. Unless you’re a good enough player to play for your country, there really aren’t opportunities to play in organized leagues between collegiate seasons. It’s not only a great opportunity for a player to improve themselves against elite competition, it’s a chance to show out for MLB scouts and show what they can do in an environment closer to what life would be like if this were their full time job.
