    Found this.

    The Cape Cod Baseball League prides itself on being the oldest, most successful amateur baseball league in the nation. With roots dating back to 1885, the Cape League has helped foster the careers of thousands of top baseball players, from such stars as Hall of Famer, Mickey Cochrane to Jason Varitek. In order to play in the Cape League, potential players must have NCAA eligibility remaining at the start of each Cape League season.

    This typically applies to freshmen, sophomore and junior class players from 4-year affiliated institutions, with limited exceptions. High school players, college seniors and college players with no NCAA eligibility remaining are ineligible.

    The Cape League itself does not recruit players. Player recruitment is left solely to each individual franchise, facilitated through each team's manager. To find out the name and contact information for each franchise manager, please refer to our online Teams Directory. To ensure a manager/head coach is aware of your playing abilities, have your current college coach or a Major League Baseball Scout recommend you to a particular Cape League manager/head coach or franchise general manager.

    The Cape Cod Baseball League opens doors to all levels of professional baseball. But how do players and coaches become involved in the Cape League, the nation's premier amateur baseball league since 1885?

    The Cape League's well-managed 10 franchises have complete autonomy over the recruiting of their players as well as hiring their own coaching staffs. General managers and head coaches work tirelessly researching, investigating and ultimately recruiting prime candidates to become part of their organization for the summer.

    In late May or early June, the Cape League holds an invitation-only tryout held at Clem Spillane Field in Wareham. A few lucky players are chosen from the tryouts each year, most commonly as temporary players to fill rosters spots while teams await the arrival of their previously signed players.

    To be invited to the CCBL invitation-only tryout, players must be recommended by their college coaches; they must be a full-time college student registered for the upcoming fall semester; and they cannot have signed a prior commitment with another summer league. Players selected to try out will be notified in advance by the Cape League tryout coordinator.

    If you are a college baseball player, your college coach should handle this process for you, as he likely would know best if the Cape Cod Baseball League is the right fit for you. Your college coach would then contact Cape League teams directly and try to arrange an opportunity. This entire process is handled at the franchise level between college coaches and CCBL field managers and/or general managers. Cape League officials play no role in this process. For those interested in coaching opportunities, a similar process applies.

    To contact management for the Cape League franchises, go to http://capecodbaseball.org/teams/ccbl/ and click on any of the 10 team icons.

    Player selection and coaching opportunities in the CCBL are highly competitive and involve a heavy amount of recruitment. We seek the "best of the best" and that might just be you! This reference page should assist you in gaining an understanding of how are players and coaches are selected.

    Best of luck with YOUR career path!!

    I don't have a problem with a coach sitting someone that has 7 hits in 56 AB's and an OBP. of .125. He's not hitting and he's not walking, so what is he doing to get on the field? And why would anyone request the Cape Cod league to take a player that is coming off injury and hasn't played BB in over a year. Do you read what you actually post? Seriously, all emotion and nothing rational.

    Here's the deal, if he get's to 100 ABs and is still hitting less than his weight, what then? At some point if he is not happy playing at UL, he should go elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did decide to play elsewhere. College careers are too short to waste time in a program your not happy playing in.

    All he had to do is ask Harris's dad or Cantrelle's and he would have been set straight. But it's much easier to blame a coach that allowed him to transfer in from his dream program that didn't want him anymore.

    If he’s that good why hasn’t it transferred to the field here over the past two years

    It's Rob's fault he didn't play in the Cape Cod League and LSU released him.

    I didn't call you anything other than a proponent for Hannie. Your defensiveness to that is strange.

    You keep focusing on one unnamed person and penning my analysis on that person and who ever said anything about anyone playing or not playing at the COD? It was you.

    No one has said a thing about Lockrodge and the COD and he is only one of about twelve that have received the revolving door treatment of development by this coaching staff the past two years. One was Lott last year. That revolving door treatment has failed them miserably. Most from last year are no longer here, some good players got the door before the season even started and we are where we are today.

    My point was that if more players were given the pedestal treatment that Cantrelle has received, maybe, just maybe we would have more productive players contributing on this team. I said further that it is not fair to judge the development of others in comparison to Cantrelle because virtually NONE of the others have been given even remotely like opportunities to produce.

    Not ONCE have I said anything should be taken away from Cantrelle for using ALL of the opportunities that he has been given to get where he got last year and where he is now this year. In fact I admire him for working through the two slumps and performing the way he did in the second half of last year and has of late this year.

    Holy ____.....Please reread, I never said they would have been benched. I said that there would have been a place on the field for one of them out of position, probably Hayden. He would have been at 1st/3rd/DH or outfield, but they would have found a place for him. The question was who of this team would have started on the 2014 team. I said Hayden and I stand behind that, but in might not have been as a middle infielder. Christ almighty it is hard to get you guys to read all the way through.

    Where may I ask did you come up with this? Whatever you are smoking, I would like some of that.

    I never meant over the middle infielders on that team, I meant one of the players on that team including Hayden would probably had to play out of position.
