I've always been a HUGE fan of JUCO baseball and SMC is one of the top dogs around in that classification, year in and year out. Give it a look guys!

 

This should be a great camp. Monte Lee was the hitting coach at SMC before moving on USC and now C of C. Bubba Dorman has coached at USC Upstate, Wofford, Newberry, and is now head coach at USC Salkahatchie. And Tim Wallace is also a great hitting coach in his own right. Who do you think taught these other guys? ;-)

This camp should be great from an exposure perspective as well. Anyone who know Tim Wallace will tell you that with him "it's all about the hitting", so I guarantee you he will be keeping a eye out for potential recruits, as will Bubba Dorman and Monte Lee. And on top of that you've got Chris Kemp who now scouts for the Rangers.

You can't go wrong with this one guys.
