With the 2025 summer ball circuit in the books, it’s time to take a look at 25 players eligible for the 2026 MLB Draft who enjoyed standout summers in the Cape Cod Baseball League.
Athletes who began their summer on the Cape but left soon thereafter for Team USA’s Collegiate National team were eligible to be ranked, though preference was given—especially in the second half of the list—to players who spent most, if not all of their summer with their respective Cape team.
Read on below for our top 25 ranking factoring in current—and future—prospect status and summer performance, as well as our rundown of Cape League superlatives.
Top 25 Cape League Draft Prospects
1. Eric Becker, SS, Virginia (Harwich)
Fresh off a career year at Virginia, Becker used his time on the Cape as a tune-up before team USA and went 5-for-21 (.238) with three RBIs. Becker has a smooth, lefthanded stroke in which he takes a direct path to contact. He has a hitterish look and sprays line drives all over the field with a high-level feel for the barrel.
At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Becker has a pro body with some room to fill out. He looks the part of a shortstop professionally, though he could slide over to third.

Bell is a switch-hitter who saw similar success from each side of the plate. He has average bat-to-ball skills, above-average on-base skills with a combination of average exit velocities and very good angles. Bell shows an optimized profile at the plate with an opportunity to tap into more pullside power. Bell is an expected day one pick in the 2026 draft.
3. Jarren Advincula, 2B, Georgia Tech (Cotuit)
In his second summer with Cotuit, Advincula won the most outstanding pro prospect award in 2025. After two seasons at Cal, Advincula entered the portal this offseason and committed to Georgia Tech.
Over 18 games with the Kettleers, Advincula hit .360/.432/.427 with five doubles, 14 runs, 11 stolen bases and seven walks to 12 strikeouts. Advincula won the Cape League batting title as an underclassman in…
