A trio of Florida Gators are tearing it up across the nation’s most prestigious wood-bat summer league.
Infielder [autotag]Cade Kurland[/autotag], catcher/designated hitter and right-handed pitcher [autotag]Jake Clemente[/autotag] were named to the 2024 Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star East Division team over the weekend. The game will take place at Guv Fuller Field, home of the Falmouth Commodores, on July 27.’
Donay and Kurland are starters at first and second base, respectively.
Both Clemente and Donay are coming off Player of the Week performances. Clemente threw seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit as he improved his earned run average to 1.93. Donay homered twice last week and slashed .467/.529/.933 to earn the award.
Kurland has held a steady .264/.346/.347 slash line in the wood-bat league. He’s gone deep once and doubled three times while driving in eight runs. Kurland has also flashed some speed, stealing successfully in four of five attempts.
