AZUSA, Calif. -- The Azusa Pacific baseball program will host its first-ever prospect camp on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cougar Baseball Complex.

The Cougar Baseball Prospect Camp provides a chance for potential Azusa Pacific baseball prospects to be evaluated by Azusa Pacific’s baseball coaching staff. The camp, which provides position-specific training, pro-style workout, strength and agility training and assessment, will conclude with a recruiting seminar and a scouting seminar led by a current MLB area scout. This showcase is an opportunity for the Azusa Pacific coaching staff to get an on-field evaluation of a player’s fit as an Azusa Pacific baseball recruit.

The cost for the camp is $165, and participants will be provided with drinks, lunch and a Cougar Baseball T-shirt. Camp roster space is limited.
