While the majority of New England’s Division 3 players don’t generate the same volume of attention from professional scouts as their neighbors from higher-profile schools and baseball programs, the summer months offer them the opportunity to show their talents on the most even of playing fields.

While the bulk of New England’s talent played in the NECBL, Futures Collegiate League and elsewhere, several regional products saw time in the prestigious Cape Cod League.
Darien, Conn., native Richard Brereton pitched all summer for the championship-winning Cotuit Kettleers, while Babson catcher Sean Harrington (Walpole, Mass.) enjoyed stints with Falmouth and Harwich to bookend the summer.
