Prepare graduating high school students from the class of 2025 and full time for the next step in their baseball career by playing in a league that is faster and competing against players with college baseball experience.

The objective of the Sun Belt College summer league is to prepare graduating high school students from the class of 2025 and full time for the next step in their baseball career by playing in a league that is faster and competing against players with college baseball experience.  It is also a league full time college students who wish to enhance their skills so they can be prepared to go back to their school in the fall and have gained the necessary experience to compete at the collegiate level.

The Sun Belt College League has made changes to the format of the league with the intention of enhancing playing time for all that participate. 

The changes:

  • Game length goes from 9 innings to 7 inning games.
  • Re-entry rule is in place that will allow the starters to be removed from a game and return back into the game at the same spot in the batting order.
  • Smaller rosters averaging 18 to 20.  This will enhance playing time.
  • Register Pitchers Only (PO) that will have the ability to pitch at minimum one game a week to improve and strengthen their pitching ability, while at the same protecting their arm during the summer.
  • Registration fee reduction:  Two players $550 (down from $650); and Pitchers Only fee is $400
  • The registration fee has an option where you register between January through end of March, pay a deposit of $200, with the balance collected at the end of April.
