Baseball Camp focuses on the essential skills of hitting, fielding and pitching. More specifically, campers learn batting techniques, hand-eye coordination, catching skills, and the five steps of pitching mechanics. Campers with a strong interest in pitching will learn to throw a fastball, change-up and curveball.
