This is what I've found so far. Any input anyone else has is welcome. This list includes current players and incoming recruits.

Hal Hughes - Cape Cod - Harwich Mariners
Wes Toups - Prospect - Danville Dans
Hayden Travinski - Perfect Game - Saugerties Stallions
Gio DiGiacomo - Cape Cod - Bourne Braves
Drew Bianco - TCL - Baton Rouge Rougarou
Cade Beloso - Cape Cod - Bourne Braves
Saul Garza - Cape Cod - Chatham Anglers
Brandon Kaminer - South Florida - Pompano Beach Clippers
Mitchell Sanford - Perfect Game - Saugerties Stallions
Gavin Dugas - Cape Cod - YD Red Sox
Braden Doughty - Cal Ripken - Gaithersburg Giants
Cade Doughty - Cal Ripken - Gaithersburg Giants
CJ Willis - Northwoods - Wisconsin Rapids Rafters
Chase Costello - Northwoods - Kokomo Jackrabbits
Rye Gunter - PGCBL - Amsterdam Mohawks
Daniel Cabrera - Cape Cod - Harwich Mariners
Ray Torres - South Florida - Boca Raton Blazers

Incoming freshman Collier Cranford was scheduled to go to the Great Lakes League, but he recently had Tommy John surgery. Last night on the broadcast Ben McDonald said they expect him to be available to start the season though.

I'm a little dismayed by the fact that the only pitcher on the list is the incoming JUCO transfer. We have guys that haven't thrown a lot of innings this season that could use the summer innings to develop. Only Beck, Vietmeier, and Hess threw last summer.

If none of our pitchers throw this summer it won’t hurt my feelings.

So don’t expect to see him next season?

Maybe over thinking here, but does this list not having a summer assignment for Smith mean he is expected to go in the draft and we are not expecting him back for his senior year?

Welp at least he won't have to move out of his apartment.

Usually the top jrs don't have Cape assignments as they are expected to go pro and Josh Smith is in that category.

Cape Cod is not travel ball.
It's the premiere collegiate league and a chance for major league scouts to watch college players using wood bats. If not playing for Team USA, the top guys are at the Cape. The longer college season with the CWS ending late June as opposed to first week in June when it used to end means the Cape loses out on some of those players the first month of the Cape season.

Toups is batting .333/.500/.556/1.056 in 36 plate appearances for Danville. Looks like a good lefty hitter to get in the lineup next season.

Believe the decision to allow LSU pitchers to particpate in summer league baseball after last season was a wrong one. I recall seeing reports the LSU pitchers were doing great, but IMO the strain on the throwing arms was too much. Plus LSU Baseball should stay away from recruiting pitchers out of HS struggling with injury. If they were hurt in HS, they will be hurt in college.

As you were.
