Cape Cod Baseball League

[@danielrodrigues2041]

Summer Catch!

[@manifestgtr]

I live in Lowell and have a house in Dennis. Every summer I’ll catch a couple games. Those kids are incredible

[@AntonelliBaseball]

That's awesome!!! Thanks for watching!

[@BFKforLifeforForver]

Currently interning in the Coastal Plain League. Apparently it's second to the CCL. Pretty fun.

[@tylerjackson836]

What do big leaguers think of Indy ball?

[@louisrusconi4111]

I'm from Falmouth and love going to Guv Fuller Field to watch games. Roche Bros is the best. So cool

[@rslitman]

65-year-old female baseball fan here. I have enjoyed your behind-the-scenes videos about life in the majors and minors. I visited Cape Cod for the first time ever last year. It was too late for the Cape League season, but this trip got me interested in learning more about this league. I have also discovered other such leagues in the country, although it sounds like the Cape League is the best. Some relatives in the DC area have been posting lately on Facebook and Twitter about teams in the Cal Ripken League, which operates in the DC and Baltimore areas. Four of the teams are in their county, including one that plays just down the road from where they live.

[@jakecave9570]

What is it like to be in a video game if you've ever been in one? If so which games?

[@lachlantaylor8269]

Monster Energy Cup Series I was about to comment the same thing lol

[@clakes1527]

The show 08

[@LtDansLegs69]

This waa actually funny aa hell good video Matt

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!

[@xx-pn4io]

This is why baseball was America's game. ____

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks for watching our vids and commenting I appreciate it!!

[@xx-pn4io]

You bet Matt. Cape Cod League is great stuff. Chatham is fun. 'Murca. The infield at Carlsbad High in North San Diego County is better than PetCo - which is the nicest MLB surface in the nation. West Coast Turf in Riverside County grows some nice Bermuda - Ralph at Carlsbad, grooms it like the fairways at La Costa. You could do an infield seminar at Carlsbad sometime. God Bless. ____

[@nicolaslange6037]

Can you do a video about milb and mlb off days

[@First-lf2ry]

Nicolas Lange He already has

[@denniss8644]

Great video, really enjoy your behind-the-scenes stuff

[@garlandetheridge9902]

Very funny Matt. Kids need to learn how to work. lol!

[@Grimmes12]

You gotta make a video about the FS1 series about this league with your take and perhaps some insider info since you played in it

[@bryansimmonshayes]

What town was your favorite to play in? I go to games all the time now in Orleans and Chatham

[@ryanvannice7878]

The one thing that struck me is that you had never had a job before your first cape cod season. Being an athlete has its challenges, but it's definitely a different life than the rest of the population.

[@Kknise3]

The stories from the grocery store were great! I bagged and pushed carts after my freshmen year too.

[@dominicvelasco1082]

I was just at a cape cod baseball game

[@marshallwilliams8535]

Did you ever have any really long games? How do you stay focused in these situations?

[@marshallwilliams8535]

Also, keep up the great content!

[@beverlygallus4625]

Thanks for this informative video, very helpful for me. I have a relative (Brock Wilken) playing this year for the Harwich team ,looking forward to this weekend as several other family members are going up to see him play. Opening game is 6/20. We will be there til the 22nd.

[@guibezerra9055]

Thank you! From a cape native!

[@ADodge]

Do you have any tips for hitting in the little league

[@djdjsjdhbd8092]

Sleek You forgot taking a nap as the pitch gets there so you're ready to whack the ball :)

[@ADodge]

Thank you guys because I'm not really good at batting

[@djdjsjdhbd8092]

Sleek Yeah, but if you hit dingers like me all day you can sleep in the dugout :)

[@brandonjoselson6836]

How do you choose who to throw out baseballs to?

[@danieldosch3049]

How much baseball did you play before high school? Did you ever have specialized training growing up? like a batting instructor or a fielding instructor?

[@delhall9072]

What is it like retiring from the majors

[@mattplasse1984]

If Cape Cod league games are an hour from your house during the summer then you live on the cape. Lol. That traffic is rough.

[@ChaunceyGardenr]

Matt Plasse nah parts of the south shore and surrounding areas are within an hour of parts of the cape and are not considered part of cape cod

[@adamsouweine6403]

What year did you play for Trundy and the Dores? I was a batboy for the team since I was like 6 and then bullpen caught when I got older

[@tylerseward574]

How do payckecks work in the MLB?

[@DerekJeter5Rings]

Nate C even in the offseason?

[@19bayarea91]

So when did you guys lift?

[@joegasparro2395]

Chad Pennington? The quarterback?

[@maxmahoney2955]

My cousin plays in the cape cod league for the harwich mariners

[@alltheDCteams]

Hey Matt, did you play (at a serious level) any sports other than baseball when you were growing up/in high school? when did you quit to focus solely on baseball? I've played hockey and baseball my whole life and I'm about the same skill wise in both, at a travel level, but I love both sports so much that I've never been able to choose one to focus solely on. Thanks and I love your videos!

[@DONTTAKEMYPIE123]

I'm literally in one of the camps in Cotuit for the kettleers

[@michaelcarlo2899]

What was it like in high pressure or intense situations in the bigs

[@lilluch3988]

Did anyone think of summer catch when he mentioned he almost played for Chatnam

[@nicholasjackson8782]

I love this video! It was hilarious!

[@tylerwolf870]

What field was your favorite to play on besides chatham's?

[@maxbeast6788]

I live on cape cod. When did you play in the league?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Awesome! I played 2004 and 2005. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@user-sv4gz8pj8z]

Can you do a video of how you liked San Antonio. I noticed you said you played double a for a little in another vid and you were on the padres. I live in San Antonio so just wondering your opinion

[@maxmahoney2955]

Did you ever have annoying teammates if so how did you deal with them

[@andrewvonwerder1674]

Hey matt as a smaller incoming freshman, how can I develop that bat speed when the bats have to be -3 and bbcor

[@bucksdiaryfan]

Chad Pennington the QB??!!

[@aarons3225]

How did you get through a slump?

[@Grimmes12]

Lmao at ramen noodles in NY we call them Jail-a-Noodles because that's what the inmates eat in Rikers Island

[@sosuapimp8449]

Along with the honeybuns and jelly jumpoffs

[@bigtalk2598]

I'm curious, and it may be in another video, but if the Cape Cod League is the best college players, and I think you said DI baseball was about like AA or High AA ball, what is D2 and D3 and Community College baseball equivalent to as far as the pros?

[@treycahill7385]

What workouts do you suggest for baseball strength and speed training

[@joeybien3609]

My dad owns the Wareham Gatemen

[@tylerwolf870]

Out here on CC rn! 4 peat for Y-D???

[@drewbrown9178]

Hey Matt you should do a video on what stadium had the most hecklers

[@Eminem10111]

Hey Matt, i'm a current college pitcher playing in the MINK summer league. Did you have any JuCo guys or was it mostly all division one? Im a juco guy getting a lot of D1 interest and am hoping to get into a prestigious league like the Cape, alaska, or costal Carolina league next summer. Also is it a lot of who your coaches know or can you reach out to the program and get recruited yourself?

[@nateh6446]

How does salary/payment work for players who are on the DL?

[@wyattslaughter4637]

did you know your new is in the mlb the show games

[@ryanmiller1820]

Ever see Summer Catch?

[@crazyballerdudeyt1570]

Ryan Miller yeah and read last best league

[@delyates2509]

God that movie was just awful.

[@alexanderdelia5566]

Do you still stay in contact with former teammates?

[@Lucas-ti1gr]

My friends uncle is a coach for the anglers

[@giovannibrooks931]

Does any fan jeering mess with you while you play

[@dezhayeck2493]

Yd for life

[@deathwachairsoft4628]

dont mean to be a pain but u never did my vid on how to get seen by a scout

[@Ray-mt5de]

Best league like Cape Cod in the west?

[@nickcardona951]

Love your channel. Why did you stop playing? I feel like you're still somewhat young and theres indy ball and all kinds of leagues a top draft pick like yourself could have continued playing in.

[@Erlov71]

Host families shouldnt even be a thing. Teams should pay for housing.

[@0wnYourWorld]

Nothing wrong with Family Matters.

[@cornwarrior7626]

found the video

[@mirraco323]

Damn Matt, you sounded like quite the model employee there lol I wonder if anyone at that store didn't know you played ball and thought "this kid will go nowhere with his life"

[@bigal5170]

I’m from cape cod Brewster Our towns team the Brewster whitecaps won the championship last year Edit:omg u actually commented thanks

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Nice! I've played against them a good amount during my career. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jpoconnell8]

[@barrymccockiner1669]

[@briandailey6487]

Nah, Boston all day

[@First-lf2ry]

It pretty much sounds like being in high school again lol

[@thpisland2423]

Chad Pennington? You mean Cliff Pennington?

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheritrix5733]

THP Island I caught that too. Definitely not the noodle-armed QB

[@WeakAchilles]

32? Why aren't you still playing, did you just lose the drive?

[@hustlinghard8081]

Dallas Smith he did a video recently about that. he had a nagging hand injury that kept needing surgery so he missed a bunch of time so eventually he was let go and never called back.

[@briandailey6487]

Injuries

[@JdhMac]

The grocery store stories. (LOL) 😂 😂 😂

[@sjang816]
