Do Cape Cod baseball league teams hold tryouts?

Answer 1

Yes, there are tryouts but most players are invited to play. I am one of the editors of CodBall: unofficial blog of the Cape Cod Baseball League. You can read a short comment on last season's tryout on our blog at -- http://www.codball.com/2007/06/01/call-for-submissions-on-june-2-tryout/ A player might tryout in early June and receive an invitation to play. Otherwise players in major college programs receive invitations from CCBL teams. The season officially begins around June 15 but earlier in June the league holds a one-day tryout. This is generally attended by players from the New England region who are unlikely to be invited by the league's teams. Generally each CCBL team has relationships with major college programs. The CCBL coaches work with a player's college/university coach to make sure he trains the player according the regular season coach's wishes. I would be happy to refer you to other sources, including the league itself, if you wish to contact me through our CodBall blog.
