And just like that, we have pretty much filled our roster for Summer 2019. I got brave this year, letting our GM sign 35 (15 position, 20 pitchers) as we've never had a year where we didn't lose at least 5 players by the time we start playing to injuries, grades, too many innings, or girlfriends. Other reasons were signings with the Cape, need for money from a full time job, nifty internship opportunities (one was ESPN-how do you top that?), summer school (several of those), need for surgery (unfortunately several of those too), and more. Cosmetic surgery was probably the strangest. Recruiting is going on at a rapid pace right now. If your coach isn't talking to you about summer ball placement, be proactive. Many schools wait until spring to place pitchers, but we've signed some really nice arms so that's not universal.
