OVERLAND PARK, KS

JUNE 5, 2025

Graduation Years:  2026.2027.2028.2029.2030

Pitching/CATCHING Clinic | 8:00am - 9:40am

All schools attending Connect will have Coaches either on the field working with you or observing and taking notes while you are working with the Coaches on the field.

Cost: $115

You will have the eyes of the Coaches on and off the field on you during your P/C session, and the Coaches can watch the graduate years they are most interested in or the athletes they are the most interested in as they move from field to field during this time where ONLY P/C are in action! These kinds of sessions are a great way for you to learn more about coaches and for them to learn more about you, while you can perform and showcase your skills.

The pitchers and catchers will be split up to get work with coaches separately during this clinic. Then the catchers and pitchers will come back together and the pitchers will be throwing full speed to the catchers and the College Coaches will be giving feedback and evaluating both the P’s and C’s! 

During our sessions we will also be gathering data. Here's the thing, we aren't just doing this for us, we are doing this for YOU!! Pitching data will be taken on every pitcher that attends camps. Velocity, Spin rate, break, and spin direction. We will gather data in this session and you will get an additional time assigned to you throughout the day so we can be sure good data is collected on your pitches.

You will throw your fastball, change up or best offspeed, and 2 best spins. Every athlete who registers for CONNECT will set up a TAGUP account and all certified metrics gathered will be uploaded into your account. You have access to this and you can choose to share it with whom you wish.  Every event we do is with you in mind, to help you reach your goals.

For catchers, pop times and other metrics will be collected during the data session.
