The strength of SEC baseball is displayed in full force in collegiate summer leagues across the nation, but none hold more weight than the Cape Cod Baseball League. That comes front and center as SEC Network debuts Summerball: Cape Cod on Friday, August 23 at 10:30 am ET.

Led by creators Andrew Harris and Doug Stanton, Summerball: Cape Cod gives viewers an immersive look at the Cape Cod Baseball League through the eyes of standout SEC players. Harris, a former Vanderbilt Commodore, is currently a baseball analyst for SEC Network+ and owner of UTL Digital. Stanton is a 35-year sports broadcast veteran and the Director of Live Event Production for Vanderbilt University.

The docuseries features 11 Southeastern Conference athletes as they compete in America’s most beautiful and prestigious destination: RJ Austin (Vanderbilt), Max Kaufer (South Carolina), Jake Clemente (Florida), Jayden Davis (Vanderbilt), Ryder Helfrick (Arkansas), Braden Holcomb (Vanderbilt), Kaeden Kent (Texas A&M), Cam Kozeal (Arkansas), Campbell Smithwick (Ole Miss), Ethan McElvain (Vanderbilt), and Brady Neal (Alabama).

“After hanging up my cleats at Vanderbilt, I transitioned to the press box as a baseball analyst for SEC Network +,” said show creator Andrew Harris. “My goal with this series is to show fans what college players do between Omaha and fall practice and to introduce them to the amazing communities that host these athletes each summer.”
