Owens Community
College
to host Baseball High School Prospect Camp,
Jan. 16
Owens Community College will offer area
baseball players in high school the opportunity to learn about
the fundamentals of the sport as men’s baseball serves as host
to the Express Winter Baseball High Prospect Camp on Monday,
January 16, 2011.
Owens’ baseball program will offer two separate camp sessions as
part of the daylong Express Winter Baseball High School Prospect
Camp. The morning session will focus on infield and outfield
positions and take place from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., while the
afternoon session will concentrate on pitching and catching
skills and occur from 1-4 p.m. Both
sessions will take place in the Student Health and Activities
Center on the Toledo-area Campus. Owens is located on Oregon
Road in Perrysburg Township.
Youth in grades 9-12 will be divided into groups and receive
individual instruction on baseball skills, which will include an
evaluation of each player’s hitting, pitching, throwing and
defensive techniques. In addition, attendees will learn about
custom exercises for baseball and gain tips on improving their
hitting and pitching.
The Owens men’s baseball program finished the 2011 season with a
25-13 overall record and in second place in the OCCAC (9-5
record). Coached by Del Young, Owens lost to Vincennes
University in the NJCAA Sub-Region XII Championships.
Parents and coaches are invited to attend the camp to listen and
observe at no additional charge. Participants are encouraged to
wear baseball pants or sweats, T-shirts and tennis/cross
training shoes. Additionally, attendees should bring their own
baseball glove, bat, helmet and catcher’s equipment.
The camp fee for each session is $65 per player or $100 per
player for individuals interested in attending both sessions.
