Is there position-specific instruction?
We offer position-specific training in one of our more advanced baseball camps, Specialty Training. Players will choose their primary and secondary position for training. Campers may choose to specialize in two of the following key positions: pitching, catching, middle infield, corner infield, & outfield. Our Ripken Way baseball camps are designed to introduce campers to all facets of the game of baseball. Learning all of the skills required to play all of the positions on a baseball field not only helps make for a better all-around player, but also adds to a player’s overall understanding of the game. Every player needs to understand proper throwing mechanics, which are discussed in the pitching station. Every player will catch a ground ball at some point; the fundamentals of fielding ground balls are covered in the infield station. Every player needs to be able to catch a fly ball, which is taught in the outfield station. And every player should learn the fundamentals of hitting.
