SEASIDE, Calif. – This past Sunday, the Cal State Monterey Bay baseball team gave their time to pass on their knowledge to young athletes throughout the community. Members of the team welcomed over 130 players to a free camp sponsored by AT&T which was held at the Otter Baseball Field.

The squad worked one-on-one with the young athletes from 7 to 14 years old on different aspects of the game including hitting, pitching, base running and defense. 

Head coach Rich Aldrete thought it was a good opportunity in continuing to build on the bond that CSUMB has with the community.  “It was our way to give back to the people who have supported the program,” Aldrete said.

Another way the Otters gave back was by hosting a camp on Monday, March 16, for 80 youth players from the Marina Pony Baseball/Softball league. This was the third year CSUMB worked with the local athletes.

The Otter baseball program will next be inviting high school players to a Prospect Mini Camp on Sunday, April 5.  Cost for the camp is $150 and campers will be given a camp t-shirt at registration.  For more information about CSUMB baseball camps, go to www.otterbaseballcamps.com.
