PRCC Wildcats host Junior High Baseball Camp

Pearl River Community College will host a Junior High baseball camp this month led by the Wildcats coaching staff and players.

The camp will be held every Tuesday night through the month of September starting this Tuesday, September 5. Each session will start at 6 pm and will last one and a half to two hours at the Wildcats’ field.

The first night of camp will include a “pro style showcase” to evaluate the players. Following the evaluation the camp will be mostly instructional, giving campers one on one time with coaches and players to work on improving all skills needed in the game of baseball; offense, defense, base running, pitching and catching, as well as some speed and agility training.

“Each day they come out here we will basically just run them through a practice just like if they were one of our guys. So they’ll get a chance to be Wildcats before they are Wildcats,” Camp Coordinator Coach Rhyne Hughes said. “We’re going to treat them as if they were one of our players right now, which I think is good because not only do they get a chance to see how we do things at the college level but they’ll get to see somethings they may benefit them for the next three or four years. “
