INFORMATION FOR PITCHERS

Primary pitchers should be prepared to throw both days, but with the hectic throwing schedules we encourage them to be prepared more importantly for the second day. The first day they will be throwing a 15-20 pitch bullpen and will have pitching instruction.

Pitcher-Only’s do not hit or play a position during the event. The second day they are throwing 20-25 pitches in a live game.If primary pitchers, for any reason, would rather throw only one inning (or not throw on a certain day), our staff will help assist in making the adjustment.
