Top 50 Position Players in the Northwoods League

The Northwoods League was established in 1994, and has grown into a top-tier 16 team league. In my opinion, only the Cape Cod League offers more competition and has more top level players in it's league. This season season saw the Battle Creek Bombers win their first ever championship. The league also can boast that the best summer league player (Shaun Cooper) this season, played for the Mankato MoonDogs.

^^^^^^^^^^

Due to the flood of emails I received after posting my WCL top position players, I must reiterate that my list is not the top prospects, but the top players. Also, since I live in Texas, I did not see these players play in person. I'm basing my rankings on stats, scouting reports and videos.
Cooper
1. Shaun Cooper OF Mankato MoonDogs---Utah
Shaun was, hands down, the best player in all of summer ball this season. He absolutely crushed the ball from day one this summer. He was named the Northwoods League Most Valuable Player and Perfect Game named him as their Summer League Player of the Year. He hit .335/.641/.444 for the MoonDogs. He scored 55 runs, knocked in an amazing 61 rbi's and most impressively, hit 20 home runs. He also managed to steal 15 bases. He was just about the most amazing home run hitter in all of summer league baseball. He won the home run derby and hit an amazing 33 home runs in three rounds. He also hit .333, with 1 home run in the playoffs for Mankato. All in all, he was first in the league in home runs, first in runs batted in and tied for first in runs scored. He also placed third in the league in hits with 81. He was ranked as the 8th best prospect in the league by PG and Baseball America ranked him as the 15th best prospect in the league.
