It is my pleasure to announce the first annual Baseball Combine for all prospective college baseball players from ages 16-21. I am a former Chesapeake High School baseball player who played division one college baseball and spent a few years in the minor leagues. I know how hard it is for kids in our area to get scouted and if you are not at the right school scouts may not even come regardless of your talent level. I knew a lot of kids who had the talent to play at the next level but didn't know how to go about getting exposure or have the means to pursue their dream. I am trying to allow players an opportunity to showcase their talents for all colleges in the area to see.
I have invited over 200 Colleges and Universities from all levels, Division 1, 2 , 3, Juco and NAIA. It will be a two day combine held on July 28th and 29th 2012 at Keys Field (Hamilton) in Baltimore MD. Day 1 will consist of a showcase of talent - 60 yard dash, fielding of one's position, batting practice and pitchers will throw a short bullpen. Day two will be game day. We will play modified games so coaches can see players in game situations and get a better evaluation.
Space is limited. I will only be taking about 50-75 players at the first combine. If I have enough interest I will run a second combine later in the summer (if I can get the facility) for players who could not make the first. Cost will be minimal, $165 per player but if we can get more the 3 from each school the cost will be $150 per player. Most combines of this nature cost between $300-450 for two days. I am expecting a good turn out of players and colleges so if you have any players who have asperations of playing at the next level please pass this letter on to them. RSVP by June 15th.
Have the prospective players email me at, dugoutbaseball18@hotmail.com and I will send them all registration forms and payment information. I will have a facebook page set up in the near future that will show all colleges that are attending and update everyone on information. This is an excellent opportunity for players to gain the exposure necessary to help them move on to the next level in their playing career.
Thank you for your time. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
DD Enterprises
