Buckeye. NWL play begins around Memorial Day and playoffs begin early mid-august. There was a four day break for all-star game and maybe a couple of off days. Grueling and closest to MILB of all collegiate leagues (including a trip to Canada).
Pitching rules + communication with college HC means all players get their innings. My son threw roughly 55 IP - all in relief. (And, by August there were essentially "help wanted" signs hanging in every GM's office as players dropped like flies. S left for college in early January and didnt see home again until the Christmas break.)
One of the assistant coaches was an associate scout and lots of scouts were at the games. Madison draws over 5k per game.
Quite a league, quite a realistic experience. (On one of those rare off days, the team even played a softball game against a prison team - at the prison. The smack talk was outrageous!)

i was on that prison team...we ran out of pitching and the umps were terrible
