Summer baseball teams range from Washington to Massachusetts
With an experienced nucleus departing from the program, a new wave of talent — especially position players — is readying to lead the Grand Canyon baseball program. A key tenet of development is summer baseball, where GCU's players scatter nationwide to gain experience that can translate to the field back in Phoenix.
The Lopes are taking their talents to some of the most prestigious leagues in the country, headlined by another Cape Cod League duo. Catcher David Avitia will team with incoming pitcher Dawson McCarville to represent GCU in the nation's top league, both as members of the Orleans Firebirds. Lopes alumnus Jake Wong also spent a summer with the Firebirds, catapulting his stock with a successful stint.
GCU also sends four to the top-tier Northwoods League including three to the Mankato MoonDogs. Outfielder Brock Burton has already made his presence known on the Eau Claire Express, earning Northwoods League Player of the Night honors in his first game on June 1.
The West Coast League will be chock full of Lopes with the program sending 11 players to the Oregon/Washington-based league.
GCULopes.com returns the #SummerLopes Tracker, a bi-weekly feature helping fans keep tabs on the successes of the Lopes throughout the country.
