Figueroa to start in Cape Cod League All-Star Game
GAINESVILLE - Cole Figueroa's play this summer in the Cape Cod League has been impressive enough to earn him a starting position in the All-Star game this weekend.
The Tallahassee native will start at second base for the East squad. Figueroa leads the Harwich Mariners with a .306 batting average, has 15 walks and is tied for third in RBI (11), runs scored (11) and doubles (five). Figueroa was a member of the SEC All-Freshman team this past season.
The All-Star game will be held Saturday, July 28, at Spillane Field in Wareham, Mass.

Isn't the Cape Cod League a wooden bat league? I wish college baseball would switch to wooden bats and get rid of the awful "ping". Cole is a solid player and hopefully some major league scouts will take notice.
Way to go Cole and keep up the good work! Go Gators!!

Cole is a really good player and has a very bright future in front of him. I am looking forward to him doing some great things at UF this year.
