The McKinney Marshals will have their final tryout on Sunday, January 29 at 3pm at The Ballfields at Craig Ranch (Theballfields.com) for boys ages 15, 16, 17, and 18 for the upcoming summer season. Our teams need 1-2 boys per team to fill our rosters. The inclement weather hotline for the day will be 972 672 9672. I have included information on our club below:
The cost to play for the Marshals is $1,025. This cost covers EVERYTHING except travel expenses. The Marshals will field 4 teams in 2006: 15, 16, and 2 18U's. Our teams play an estimated 40 games. We play in the Lone Star Baseball League and play in 5 showcase tournaments or invitationals with our postseason starting at the AABC state tournament which results in a 6 tournament min.
Don't let the name McKinney fool you. We have kids play for us from as far as Mesquite, Midlothian, Keller, and even the far west town of Lewisville. We are a true metroplex select program with proven success.
Our 15 year old team will be once again headed by Mark Ferrer (Former player at OCU) and Devon Mize (Former player at AC). Their team was 28-12 last summer and finished 3rd in the SS National Championships.
Our 16 year old team will be headed by "Evil" Dave Ostroff (Former player at Dartmouth) and Brian "BT" Thomas (Former player TAMU).Their team went 26-20 last summer and finished second at the AABC state tournament.
Our 17U team will be headed by Lance Alford (Former player at TWU). The 17U team went 25-15 last summer and finished 3rd at the AABC state tournament.
Our 18U team will be headed by Andy Postema (Former Orioles INF) and Rene Asprion (Reds Assoc. Scout). This team went 30-18 last summer and finished second at the AABC state tournament.
Our teams carry small rosters. We believe that you pay to play and that all the kids have to contribute for us to be successful. Our 15U-16u team will carry 14 kids, and 17 and 18 teams to carry 15-16 kids.
