Two of the top three national leaders in home runs are slated to be on the Cape in 2010. Siena’s Dan Paolini (Chatham) is second in the country with 22. Indiana’s Alex Dickerson (Wareham) is third with 20.
If they keep up the pace, this would be a pretty rare feat for future Cape Leaguers. A lot of leaderboards are generally topped by juniors, not sophomores with a Cape summer ahead of them. Last year, Bryce Brentz led the nation in homers with 28 and was on the Harwich roster, but he wound up with Team USA.
