The Coastal Plain League features the best baseball action summer has to offer. With college players from all over the country, the Coastal Plain League strives to provide each player with the preparation for what it takes to be a professional. Through the use of wooden bats (like those used in professional baseball) as opposed to aluminum, college players are able to adjust their games accordingly to hitting with or playing against what will be used at the next level. Coastal Plain League games, as well as the CPL All-Star Game and Championship Tournament provide a great opportunity for Major League Baseball scouts to evaluate players in the CPL.

Teams in the Coastal Plain League play in former minor league ballparks, including two of the top-three summer collegiate ballparks in the nation voted upon by Baseball America, making for an even more authentic professional touch. And with a large fan base in every community, players in the Coastal Plain League quickly get to experience the atmosphere that will come with being a professional player.

Now heading into its eleventh season, the Coastal Plain League has become a premier league, helping to aid players from all over the country in making their dreams realized by becoming professionals.
