WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Both returning and incoming Purdue Baseball players continue to take the field throughout the months of June and July thanks to the opportunities provided by collegiate wood bat summer leagues.
This summer primarily features Boilermakers playing in the Prospect League, Northwoods League and West Coast League. The Prospect League and Northwoods League both feature four divisions and at least 18 teams, and are generally centered in the Midwest.
In the Prospect League, Gavin Beuter and CJ Richmond's Chillicothe Paints have already played Sergio DeCello's Johnstown Mill Rats five times through June 3. James Novakovic has helped the Lafayette Aviators race out to a successful 6-1 start in the Northeast Division, which also features Chillicothe and Johnstown.
This page will be updated throughout the summer as new information becomes available. Summer league info for additional incoming Boilermakers will also be added as it becomes available. Submit updates or additions to benturner@purdue.edu.
