Starting Saturday Dec 7th and continuing through Saturday Dec 14th, Bangkok Baseball Softball Association (BBSA) is pleased to host our annual Pro Player clinics. We have 4 former and current minor league players who will be running free clinics for all of our players. There is no need to register for the clinics. Just show up at scheduled ISB field at the appropriate time for your student. This is a great opportunity to pick up some great baseball/softball tips from guys who have spent years around the game. Just bring your fielding glove and you can join in.
The UPI team will consist of Mickey Weston, Bill Curtis, Blaine Beatty and Andrew Wilson. Blaine Beatty is former MLB with NY Mets and current AA pitching coach with the Baltimore Orioles. Andrew Wilson was drafted by the Braves in 2009 and made it up to AA. They will be joined by Bill Curtis and Mickey Weston on this year’s trip Should be a great team for the BBSA.
UPI is a Christian missionary group. So at the conclusion of each clinic the Pro Clinic players will have a short message to the BBSA kids about Christianity. Kids are under no obligation to stay for this part of the clinic. If you would like to know more about the UPI organization, please see their website at https://www.upi.org/
