A look at some of the top college baseball prospects in the country during their prep days.
The historic Cape Cod Baseball League is the most prestigious and well-known college summer league in the country.
The league gives prospects who either weren't drafted or elected not to sign with major league organizations out of high school an opportunity to prove to scouts what they can do with wood bats against the best of the best.
Saturday marks the Friendly's Cape League All-Star Game, which features the top 50 players in the 10-team league, selected by the league managers.

Recent winners include current MLB players Chris Sale, Aaron Crow, Josh Satin, Sam Fuld and Mark Teixeira.
Here is a look at high school photos of some of the players who were selected to play in Saturday's game, a few of which will likely become household names once they make it to the majors.
