Summer Internships

The Whitecaps are accepting applications for intern positions for the 2024 season. Whitecaps intern positions are rewarding and fun.

Each season, we have a number of intern positions available. The positions range from game day to broadcast and media interns to general manager interns. These are exciting and fulfilling positions within the premier collegiate summer baseball league. And you get to spend the summer on Cape Cod!

PLEASE NOTE: ALL INTERN POSITIONS ARE FILLED FOR THE 2024 SEASON.

Game Day Interns:

​Love baseball? Want a career in sports management, public relations, business or some other appropriate field? Why not spend the summer at the ball field on Cape Cod?

The Brewster Whitecaps are supported by approximately 10 game day interns every season. Our game operations include setting up the fans’ area before every game so our thousands of fans have a memorable day at the game. We take donations at the gate, sell raffle tickets, hang sponsors’ banners, welcome local groups, help sell souvenirs and do all the sideline tasks that enable the community to put a top-flight team on the field. We often take on additional responsibilities. An intern with some photographic experience can contribute to our online content. The game day interns also interact with our younger fans by organizing some of the kids activities.
​ It’s hard work, and there’s no salary. It is baseball, and it’s on Cape Cod. A Cape Cod Baseball League intern is a great line on your resume and as good a reference as you earn (which is usually very good indeed). If you can earn credit toward your degree, we can work that out too. So if you have a place to stay in the area*, transportation and afternoons free (we start as early as 3 p.m., as the Whitecaps play at 5 p.m., not under the lights), send us a resume, and maybe you’ll get to spend this summer with the Whitecaps.

Please send your resume to Paige Ferraguto at colbyliz94@yahoo.com.

General Manager Interns:

MLB Scout Liaison Intern: This intern is our liaison to the Major League scouts, who spends the summer on the Cape looking at players that are likely to be eligible for the following year’s MLB Draft. This intern will tweet starting pitchers every morning and be available to scouts as soon as our players show up for (home game) batting practice, usually around 2 p.m. The intern will have scouts-only statistics, and be expected to interact with them on a professional level. To the extent it doesn’t conflict with your scouts’ responsibilities, you may also assist our general manager and his staff with game-related duties. And, for the record, it generally doesn’t include keeping stats for the club. We have other league-wide resources to do that, and the coaching staff manages its own sabremetrics.

Baseball Operations Intern: Work directly with the coaches tracking pitching and hitting. Assist the coaches with analyzing the data. Handle bus schedule for away games. Coordinate with the general manager for rainy day schedules and notifications. Additional duties can be assigned working in concert with the general manager. The Baseball Operations Intern is required to attend all games and must have his/her own transportation.

Pregame and Bullpen Catcher Intern: This position requires strong baseball catching experience. The applicant should have extensive high school and/or the equivalent catching experience. The applicant can be an experienced high school catcher. The main responsibility is to be available for the pregame pitcher workout, and to warm up relief pitchers during the game. This is an opportunity to work with the Whitecaps coaches and the collegiate pitchers.

Other GM internships available include trainers and medical team. If interested in any of the GM intern positions, email our General Manager Jon Mecca at jmecca1118whitecaps@gmail.com.
