College Summer Baseball

Here's a twist on the post . . .

Is there anyone out there that would be interested in HOSTING a player this summer?

We have about 6-8 kids coming in from out of state.

I played in the Valley League back in college and stayed with a host family, and I will never forget the experience!

If anyone is interested please e-mail me: nelson@playballdirect.com

I am also looking for a couple guys for my summer mens/college team that plays in a wood bat league.
hperez235@gmail.com if interested or need more info

My 19 year old son, centerfielder at Oberlin college. We live in Chicago. He is looking for summer team. Previous three seasons played CF for Norwood Blues. Anyone interested? I will provide contact info. Don't know if it is appropriate to provide on this post. Thank you.

The above player is an outstanding baseball player!
He catches anything close to him. Great attitude and great team mate!

My son is headed out this week to play in the Arizona Collegiate Wood Bat League. We didn't think it was a good idea for him to pitch another 60 plus innings in the Northwoods League, or any other League for that matter so we chose this league for him. It costs about $500 and many of the kids stay in the ASU dorms.

PK threw 80+ innings this spring and in AZ this league only plays about 35 games. We guess he will throw 30-40 IP. It may not be as prestgeous as other leagues but who cares IMO. His coach at Logan will not let any of his current pitchers play in some of this big leagues now because almost all his kids who have been playing in thess leagues show up in the fall with sore arms.

I will pass on what I see this summer for anyone interested in the future. It is a great chance to meet new kids from all over the country AND give Dad something to do all summer!!!!

Dang nc!

With you out there in the Grand Canyon State how am I ever going to get the lawn mowed.



I need to find another tag team partner!





.

I threw away my snow shovels, leaf rakes, & lawnmowers. I have solar panels on the roof which make about half my electricity. Life is good. Baseball 10 months a year without winter coats!!!!!

.

Solar panels on the roof? I'm still doing it the old fashioned way...rubbing two sticks together. I'm getting really good at it. So good all I need is one stick. Have a look.

I know it's early but I am already looking for guys who may be home from college next summer and would like to play ball. Email me if interested hperez235@gmail.com

25 games weekends only.

nc42dad sent you a pm.

Back at you Iltrans

Hey NC42 DAD, how did the Arizona summer league turn out for PK? My son will pitch in the Northwoods league this summer, but I have no idea how many innings he will get this spring. Turns out that the team he is on (Belmont) is loaded with pitchers and may be a ranked D1 team going into the college season. He'll have his hands full trying to get some innings on that team as a freshman.

I know its early but We are currently looking for players for the 2012 season. The league starts games in April and goes through September, strictly weekend games, Wood Bat only. Prefer players that have played or are still in college or played at a high competitive level but will give everyone a chance. Team is full of college, ex college players. Schedule consists of 22 league games and 3 out of league games in April versus top teams from other leagues. If you're interested please include your Name, Age, experience and positions that you play. hperez235@gmail.com

Sorry for the slow response! Moved to AZ and have been enjoying the weather & playing catch everyday with Kyle!!! OUTSIDE

AZ Collegiate Summer league experience was very good. It doesn't have the talent of the Northwoods League or some of the others but PK had a great coach who taught him a lot about pitching.

The best part was I got to see all the games!! It is HOT though, 500 pm game were usually 105 degrees plus. 730 games were nicer because the sun was down.

I've been following Belmont this spring! PK went to Hawaii last week. Lucky.

I saw that Central Michigan went to Hawaii, what a deal. How is PK liking Central Michigan?

My favorite lefty finally got his first win last night. He has pitched better than his 1-3 record and 5.79 ERA would indicate. Not getting a lot of innings, but the team is now 20-10 playing a very tough schedule.

Hopefully the Northwoods league won't pitch his arm off. His college coach is looking out for him, hopefully he knows what he is doing.

PK likes it up there. We are going to go see him in May. It is a major hassle flying there from here!

He may go to a Northwoods team this summer versus coming out here again. His decision to make, not mine.

I see your boy is getting opportunities. He is doing very well!!! We miss all high school games. It was a lot of fun....mostly. LOL

Stay in touch! Hi to everyone. AZ is terrific - heat and all.

Hello nc42dad. We've all been wondering...



Since we didn't have much use for these this year, we thought we should wrap some of them up and send them your way. Any color preference?



.

Kids will be coming home pretty soon. Looking to add couple more guys contact me if interested. hperez235@gmail.com

Gotwood!!!

I have not worn a winter coat since I got here. The only shovel I use is to pick up "dog stuff" and my dog is too small for me to need a snow shovel for that!!!

As for living in the moment, I would stay on-line and write more but I am going to jump into my un-heated 82 degree pool right now...as I have been doing for the past week.

Take care.

Hey looks like PK and Kyle are having good years. My kid got 61 innings so far, and they are off to the conference tourney. Maybe they wil make the big dance like last year.

I still go to the Central games, they are still in my blood.

You ask us to take care? After I get my hands on your pool heater thermostat you're the one who had better take care nc42dad...



Door County, AZ...it could happen!

Sorry Gotwood but I have NO POOL HEATER other than the sun!!!

Hey I see Pat is no longer in the Northwoods league. Looks like he pitched one game and did well, then they waived him. Did he hurt his arm?

My kid has 4 starts, two pretty good and the last two awful. I wonder if his arm is going dead.

Sore shoulder because he pitched in the Conf Tourney final on 1 days rest. Nothing bad, just not worth rushing back.
