Quotable:
Baseball Census & Summer League owner, Nico Calderaro: “First and foremost, we are completely overwhelmed with the trust and support of college coaches around the country to allow us to provide an opportunity for their players to develop over the summer. It was a long and difficult decision to create our own collegiate league as opposed to one that was already in place, but we decided to take the leap and create an environment we can control and one that will help facilitate the development of student-athletes over the summer. Our primary goal is for the players to return to their schools healthy, get stronger, and develop their skills on the baseball field. With the Portal changing the landscape of recruiting, we hope to help the players that believed in us by creating an edge by playing in competitive games with some of the best talent Southern California has to offer.”
