rocketson1 is 22 and a college graduate; he quit playing college ball years ago to concetrate on becoming a doctor. He has now decided he wants to play baseball instead (he is a 6'4" RHP).
He started training for it in earnest about a year ago, and recently went to an independent league tryout where he was throwing 88-90. This was his first time pitching and he had thrown very little this spring due to problems finding a catcher.
He has started pitching once per week in the local woodbat league (mostly college players) and would like to attend the pro tryouts this summer. The problem is that the closest tryout camp during which he will be available is a 15 hour drive and money is a concern. My questions are: is there any other way to tryout for a pro team, and is there anything else he should be doing to prepare?
