Stanford Baseball’s Skill Development Camp is designed for the player, ages 12-14, that is looking to improve their skills on the 90 ft diamond. This camp is not a showcase or a recruiting camp, but an instructional and development camp that will be limited to 90 participants. Players will be put through three phases of camp on a daily basis. The morning will consist of a defensive circuit as well as a hitting circuit. All instruction will be held at Stanford’s Sunken Diamond and adjacent turf fields. The afternoon session will consist of station work that will include a simulated game scrimmage on the main diamond. Each day will conclude with in speed and agility training that will consist of instruction in the areas of stretching, warmup, speed and agility. How this translates into the game of baseball will be introduced and discussed. Drills may include: form running, agility and change of direction work, baserunning and base stealing technique, and foot speed drills. Coach Esquer believes that this age group has been ignored in past years and the transition to the 90 ft diamond is an important time in the development of baseball skills. This is the perfect camp for players looking for things to work on and develop as they advance through club, travel and high school baseball.
