Winter Baseball Clinic

A little shameless advertising... I wanted to post on here for any players in the Triad area that the Southwest Guilford High School Baseball Booster Club is sponsoring a 1-day All-Skills Clinic on Sat. Jan. 22.

In order to cover a lot of age-specific material, the clinic is divided into 2 sessions. Session I is for ages 12-under and Session II is for Ages 13-up. Both sessions will consist of 6 continuous stations and conclude with a final station allowing players to opt for a concentration on hitting or P/C. Session II will also include a discussion with Oakland A's Area Scout, Michael Holmes, covering college prep and the recruiting process for parents and players.

Fees are reasonable at $55 for Session I and $65 for Session II and will include lunch and a t-shirt, which you can wear under your sweatshirt! (Praying for a relatively warm day.)

Here is the list of Instructors with their current affiliation listed first:

• Michael Holmes (Oakland A's Area Scout, Former Wake Forest Pitching Coach)
• Alec Zumwalt (Milwauke Brewers/Triple-A, 4th Rd Pick 1999, East Forsyth H.S.)
• Ralph Roberts (Atlanta Braves/Single-A, Cherryville H.S., UNC)
• Mike Prochaska (Tampa Bay Devil Rays/Double-A, 16th Rd Pick 2002, Leesville Rd. H.S., NC State)
• Ryan Blake (Florida Marlins/Single-A, 22nd Rd Pick 2003, Glenn H.S., UNC)
• Alan Beck (Western Carolina Univ. Grad Asst. Coach, 16th Rd Pick 2003 Baltimore Orioles, South Caldwell H.S., Western Carolina)
• Jeff Landing (New York Mets/Short Season, 12th Rd Pick 2004, Southwest Guilford H.S., Virginia Tech)

Anyone interested or wanting to find out more can contact Clinic Director, Andy Harper at (336)996-2120 or [email protected], or can visit www.eteamz.com/swgclinics for detailed station schedule, directions, in-depth instructor bios and downloadable registration forms.

 

Wahla!

Zumwalt, Landing, and Blake as well as Roberts State Games products from region 5 and 6 respectively! Had the pleasure of working with and coaching t them and against them! Great players and on top of that GREAT young men! May have to go visit just to say hello! :applause: :applause:

 

This clinic is run by one of the best coaches in the state. Andy takes a sincere interest in not only developing young players but you can tell by the players that are helping him out...that he continues a wonderful relationship with all players he has coached.

If you can attend this one...it will definitely be worth your time.

If there is such a thing...this would be TBR approved !!!

 

My 12 year old son and I both will be there!
We both will learn something from Harp and all the players and scout with some of the best knowledge money can buy!

Andy definitely loves the game and loves teaching it! :applause: :applause: :applause:

 

Sounds Great!! BTW... Prochaska went to Leesville Rd. Quality instruction is defeinitely a plus!

 

Thanks Coach. Mike will appreciate your correction.

 

Another Change I'll have to make........

Alec Zumwalt was the player to be named later in the Kolb-Capellan trade between the Brewers and Braves. He's been assigned to Triple-A Nashville. Alec is extremely pleased. Milwaukee's minor league wheels tend to move a little quicker than Atlanta's.
