Thanks to the players and coaches who have participated in the program during the last eleven years, the Mid-Atlantic Red Sox team has established itself as one of the elite showcase teams on the East Coast. The program takes great pride in providing opportunities, and assisting young men in fulfilling their academic and athletic goals of becoming student-athletes on the collegiate level. All 265 former Mid-Atlantic Red Sox players have continued their careers playing collegiate or professional baseball.
To build on the tremendous success of past Mid-Atlantic Red Sox teams, give more opportunity for exposure, and to establish the Red Sox as an elite showcase program on the national level it was clear that the Red Sox needed to add opportunities in the summer as well as in the fall. With this in mind, the Mid-Atlantic Red Sox are excited to announce the merger with the Mid-Atlantic Mets. The Mets summer showcase organization will be adopted by the Red Sox and now go under one name – The Mid-Atlantic Red Sox.
Allen Haines will continue to serve as General Manager and will oversee both summer and fall teams. The fall showcase team will be managed by Eric Haines, while the summer team will be run by Dan Gitzen. Plans are being made to add an underclassmen fall showcase team and teams that will compete in the World Wood Bat Championships in Florida. Be looking for more information as those plans get finalized.
The Red Sox will begin the recruiting process in January at the Southern MD Baseball Camp (somdbaseball.com) and will host 2 tryouts in February for placement on the summer Red Sox program. Placement on the summer Red Sox program guarantees a spot for you on the fall team.
For information on try-outs please feel free to email the Red Sox at, midmarylandbaseball@hotmail.com or dgitzen@midatlanticredsox.net.
Thank you,
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox
