SlumpBuster 13u & 14u Pro Player Workout
(Session #1)
All 13u and 14u players attending Session #1 of the Omaha SlumpBuster have an opportunity to attend the Pro Player Workout, hosted by the coaching staff at Iowa Western Community College. This national powerhouse JUCO coaching staff and Triple Crown will show you what to expect at a college exposure workout, so you’ll be prepared down the road.
Set for June 17, the Pro Player Workout Experience gives each athlete a chance to perform and be graded at one of four positions – outfield, pitcher, infield and catcher. Every player will also hit eight pitches and be timed from home to first after the final swing. We’ll clock you in the 60-yard dash, and all catchers will get their pop-time to second base recorded. Pitchers will be evaluated on 10-15 throws.
Iowa Western’s program is an ideal source for information about high-achieving performance. The Reivers won the National JUCO World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014, and head coach Marc Rardin has sent more than 100 players to D-I programs.
Limited spots available; no walk-ups allowed, and the session will not conflict with any SlumpBuster tournament games.
