2020 College Summer Baseball

Our summer collegiate team will be playing on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm at Banning High School in Wilmington.  We will also be playing double header on Saturdays at Cal State Los Angeles.
Players Eligible for the 2020 Summer Wood Bat Collegiate Season

Only those players on a College Baseball roster will be eligible to play in our summer collegiate program.  Because we are in very competitive leagues, it is imperative that our rosters are composed of active college players.

Player who are not on a college roster may still sign up for our program, but will be placed in a less competitive situation. 

Graduating high school seniors who play varsity baseball are also eligible to play in our program.

Summer Schedule

In addition to playing (20) league games, we will play an additional (16) games, including a local tournament, non-league games and one (1) out of town 3-4 game series.

The season will begin Memorial Weekend at the end of May, and conclude end of July.  If we quality, the post-season playoffs will begin the last weekend in July and our goal is to participate in the Stan Musial World Series.

Roster

In order to insure quality playing time, our roster will consist of (21) players:
  • (8) Pitchers
  • (2) Catchers
  • (3) Corner Infielders
  • (3) Middle Infielders
  • (4) Outfielders
  • (1) Utility Player who can also Catch

Type of Player we are looking for:

Only those players who adhere to the following will be accepted into our program:
  • Pitchers who are strike throwers:  who work ahead, work down, work quickly
  • Hitters who will put the ball in play and play our style of play on offense; smart ball.
  • Hitters who have a low strikeout rate.
  • Players who make all the routing plays on defense.
  • Players who are committed to be at every scheduled game and practice (90%) rule.
  • Players who believe in the philosophy, "the team comes first."
  • Players who understand that our team plays the game the right way, respects the game, coaches, teammates, opponents, umpires and fans.

Game Time

For all local games, players are expected to report at least (90) minutes prior to opening pitch.  Sometimes batting practice will be available, either on the filed or in the cages.

Cell Phones

All players will be expected to turn off their cell phones when they get to the field.  No texting or cell phone use are allowed by players once you get to the field.

Summer Commitment

Because NBC Collegiate baseball requires a huge commitment, only serious baseball players need apply to our program.  We expect each player at every scheduled game and practice.  Summer baseball must be your priority.  Work, School, Vacations, etc. should be scheduled around the team's schedule.  By signing your contract, you are committing yourself to the team and teammates.

Therefore, because this commitment policy will be strictly enforced, if a position player misses 10% of the scheduled games, he will be dropped from the team.  A player on the waiting list will take your spot.

Refunds

  • Once a player signs his contract to play summer ball, there are NO REFUNDS.

Playing Time

The East LA Dodgers are committed to providing quality opportunities for each of our players.  This means we will play each player at each game (except pitchers).  We have found out over the years that our system is fair, and still allows us to be competitive in league play.  Our goal is to have each hitter have atleast (2) plate appearances per game, a minimum of 4-5 innings of playing time on defense.  There are no starters or reserves in our system.  Everybody plays.

Starting pitchers are on an (80) pitch count or (5) innings.  Relievers and closers will get plenty of innings and appearances.

It is our goal that each of our players return to school in the fall as much improved, better and confident player who will help his school.

Travel Ball

Our collegiate program is called travel ball for a reason:  lots of travel is required.  Games are scheduled as far north as Santa Barbara, as far south as San Diego, and as far east as Palm Springs.  All players are required to provide their own transportation to and from games.  Distance is not an excuse to miss games.

East LA Dodger Uniform

We will provide you with the team jersey and practice t-shirt.  Each player is responsible to get his own:
  • LA Dodger Game Hat
  • Grey Pants
  • Royal Blue Belt and Socks
  • Batting Helmet
  • Your Own Wood Bat
  • If you are a Catcher (you must have your own Catcher's Gear/equipment)
  • Blue or Black Cleats
  • No jewelry of any kind allowed on the field

Financial Obligations

It costs about $16,000.00 to run each team for the summer.  The costs is enormous; we have to pay for:
  • League fees

  • Water and Ice at each game
  • Tournament Fees
  • Van and hotel rental for overnight trips
  • Coaches' stipends

Cost

This year's fees are:
  • $250.00 per Player
These fees must be paid when you turn in your contract.  Also these fees only bring in about $12,000.00.  The rest will have to be fundraised, which each player must participate in.

Fundraising

In order to run a quality program, each player must be committed to help with the fundraising.  This year we are asking each player to:
  • We will run (2) tournaments this summer.  Each player will be required to work the game, work the 50/50 raffles, etc. during the tournament.
  • We will have an "All you can eat Pizza and Spaghetti" dinner fundraiser in which we will ask each player to sell (4) tickets.  The date for this fundraiser is TBA.
