One exciting aspect of baseball is that a player with less ability can rise up and become a better player than the pure athlete. While this can be said of many sports, it is especially true in baseball. The reason is the large number of skills that are required for a player to become a complete ballplayer. There may be no substitute for speed, but in baseball speed alone will not get a player very far, or even off the bench for that matter.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Marco Corrales gave up baseball early on because he was afraid of getting hit by a pitch.
The 13-year-old Renaissance Charter School eighth-grader from Port St. Lucie is now over that fear and looks forward to stepping into the batter’s box.
Corrales is one of 83 players, ages 7-13, attending the St. Lucie Mets baseball camp. The camp, run by St. Lucie players, coaches and office personnel, began Wednesday and ends Friday.
“I’m having fun,” Corrales said. “I haven’t played baseball in a while, but my dad says I have power and I want to go back (to playing on a team). I just didn’t have a good experience with it before.”
The camp is broken into eight stations focused on hitting, pitching, fielding grounders, catching fly balls and base running.
NEW YORK – The first session of the Brett Boretti Fall High School Baseball Camp will take place on September 11-12 and the second session will be from October 16-17 on Robertson Field at Satow Stadium.

All campers will be given multiple opportunities to showcase their abilities to the coaching staff while experiencing Columbia Baseball first-hand.
