Most Power: Top 5

Let's take a look at the sluggers who enjoyed trotting around the bases this summer on the Cape:

1.     Jordan Ribera, 1B, Y-D/Fresno State, Height: 6-0, Weight: 220

• Most consistent power hitter. Hit league-leading 10 total HRs on Cape and a nation's best 27 HRs at school. Fly ball producing stroke that generates good loft and backspin.
• CCBL HRs: 10
• NCAA HRs: 27

2.     Paul Hoilman, 3B, Cotuit/East Tenn, Height: 6-05, Weight: 240

• Winner of NCAA and CCBL home run derbies. Large frame and country-boy strength combine for impressive power. Lack of in-game home run production is a concern.
• CCBL HRs: 2
• NCAA HRs: 17

3.     Ricky Oropesa, 1B, Chatham/USC, Height: 6-03, Weight: 225

• Might have the most raw power. Witnessed a mammoth shot that few others in history of the wooden bat league could match. Long stroke has many holes.
• CCBL HRs: 7
• NCAA HRs: 20

4.     Daniel Bowman, OF, Bourne/Coastal Carolina, Height: 6-01, Weight: 210

• Dead pull hitter can hit the long ball with the best of them. Ball can explode off his bat. Great bat speed and strength. Impatient hitter that only looks to pull the ball.
• CCBL HRs: 5
• NCAA HRs: 15

5.     Aaron Westlake, 1B, Chatham/Vanderbilt, Height 6-04, Weight: 235

• Sweet left stroke creates great loft on ball. Just looks like a big-league hitter. Not much room for power projection.
• CCBL HRs: 5
• NCAA HRs: 14
