Baseball events scheduled

Coast to Coast Baseball invites local players (ages 10-18) to one of its upcoming tryout events. At the tryout, CCB staff will evaluate players’ skills in four areas: hitting, fielding, arm strength and speed.

Since the summer of 2001, over 2,500 athletes (ages 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18) from 46 different states have participated in the Coast to Coast Baseball program. Alumni now compete at every level of collegiate baseball, and even professionally.

Players who are accepted to the program may choose to represent the USA in competition in Puerto Rico, or work with top college coaches and pro scouts at a Florida or Arizona camp or showcase event, held at a MLB spring-training complex.

In addition to the tryout, an instructional hitting camp will be held the same day. The goal of the camp is to help players improve hitting fundamentals, as well as their mental approach at the plate. Events will be held at: West Virginia State College (College baseball field), Institute; Thursday, July 26.

Tryout begins 10 a.m.; hitting camp begins 2 p.m.
