Pitchers and catchers week is over and I am impressed with the work ethic and desire in all of you. Now, that all of the try-outs truly begin, pitchers and catchers will be expected to show up at MMU in the AM, 5:45 am to help get things set up in the cafeteria and then you will pitch/catch starting a 6:00am. Normal warm-up consisting of dynamics and band work will still occur so we have to make the most of our time.
The following is a list of pitchers and catchers: If you are name is not shown please inform me via e-mail ASAP. See you Monday.
