Year Established: 1997
States Represented: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
No. of Teams: 16
Regular Season Champion (best overall record): Savannah Bananas (37-13)
Postseason Champion: Morehead City Marlins
No. 1 Prospect, 2017: Andre Nnebe, of, Wilson Tobs (Santa Clara)
First 2017 Player Selected, 2018 Draft: Nick Podkul, 2b, Morehead City (Notre Dame; Blue Jays/7th round)
Player of the Year: Austin Pharr, if, High Point-Thomasville (Columbus State)
Pitcher of the Year: Christian Scafidi, rhp, Holly Springs (Pennsylvania)
One of the premier collegiate summer leagues in all of baseball, the CPL enjoyed another successful season in 2018, perhaps earning the unofficial and unquantifiable moniker of "most internet-famous summer league" as well, due in part to their outstanding promotions and overall fun atmosphere. Teams like the Savannah Bananas and Macon Bacon, among others, certainly made it fun for players, fans and even evaluators with their atmospheres in general, and the addition of the Macon club added to the overall depth of the league from a talent perspective as well.
The talent, as it always is, was both very good and very deep, with a great deal of draft-able talent across the next several years on display. Middle Tennessee State infielder Myles Christian earned the top prospect designation this year after coaches raved about his raw power and athleticism, not to mention the fact that he blasted 18 home runs this summer, and with a wood bat nonetheless.
The Morehead City Marlins captured their first CPL title by winning the Petitt Cup Championship against a high-powered High Point-Thomasville offense that included Christian and league Player of the Year Austin Pharr. The deep Marlins' pitching staff remained steady to the end, carrying the team to a 3-0 record in the playoffs to finish the year with a 34-14 record, the second best mark in the league.
