For the past few weeks, boys and girls have been participating in Showtime Sports Academy’s Winter Baseball Camp! The camp was led by Showtime’s General Manager and former Redbird,Tony Naile. He got help from some other pro-players, including Steve Hughes, who played for the Cincinnati Reds; Andy Simunic, with the Houston Astros; Brandon Hynick, also with the Reds; Joe Boever, who pitched in the majors for 11 years; Erich Butler, with the Texas Rangers; and Matt Williams, with the St. Louis Cardinals. The campers were divided into 4 groups. Each group rotated stations every 20 minutes from throwing and pitching, hitting, infield, and speed and agility. The Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Ben Zobrist came to talk to the campers and give some demonstrations. There were a lot of great athletes in the group. Don’t be surprised if you see some of these kids playing of TV in a few years!
