Blue Jays presenting baseball camp July 26 and 27

The Toronto Blue Jays are returning to
Richmond.
Partnering with Baseball Canada, the Blue
Jays Baseball Academy is bringing the Honda Super Camps to Latrace Field July
26 and 27.
Richmond City Baseball will play host to the
popular event, which is visiting 14 Canadian cities this year. Last year’s
event in Richmond was enthusiastically received, with longtime BC Baseball
executive and former Baseball Canada president Ray Carter suggesting he wouldn’t
be surprised to see a graduate from one of these camps in the Major Leagues in
as few as five years.
Longtime Baseball BC member Mike Kelly, who
chairs its coaching development program, says programs like this further the
opportunity for young players to develop their skills.
Blue Jays alumni JP Arencibia, Jesse
Barfield, Lloyd Moseby and Ricky Romero are expected to be part of this year’s
camp in Richmond.
Held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day, the
camps provide male and female players aged nine to 16 with the ultimate Major
League experience: learning skills and techniques from the former pros. Players
will rotate through drills covering all skills including hitting, throwing,
fielding, pitching and base running.
Each participant will receive a Blue Jays
hat, T-shirt, baseball manual and the opportunity for autographs from the
alumni present.
