From Cape Cod to Alaska, wood-bat college summer leagues are monitoring closely as Major League Baseball reshuffles its development pipeline and enters the amateur space.
Major League Baseball conducted Rounds 2 -5 of their annual amateur selections yesterday (June 11) and the Seattle Mariners used their selection in the 5th Round to pick a pitcher with some ties to the Yakima Valley.
Selah High School grad Carter Young, one of baseball's top amateur prospects, will be heading home this summer to play ball for the Yakima Valley Pippins in the West Coast League.
