UNEXPECTED RAIN DOES DAMAGE TO SHOWCASE
The showcase at Crowder between the Academy, KC Bullets, and BC Baseball Academy was cancelled due to unexpected rain earlier in the morning. Coach Lallemand, the head coach at Crowder, his staff, and his players work diligently toward getting the field ready to play on as all of the teams had driven several hours to play baseball to be recruited. I felt that with our players and parents that made the trip, that we needed to do something productive. After speaking to Coach Lallemand, we decided to have a showcase for whoever wanted to stick around. The BC Baseball Academy decided to leave and only five players from the KC Bullets decided to stay and showcase for Coach Lallemand and his staff.
Coach Lallemand and his staff set up a simulated infield in the outfield so that we could take a simulated infield/outfield. After the simulated infield/outfield, we had the pitchers throw a bullpen off of the game field mound while position players took ten to twelve hacks in the cage then went through the static drill. Even with the negative of the rain, we still accomplished our mission of getting our guys a chance to be recruited and this was as one-on-one with a college coach as you can get.
