MOUNT PLEASANT - The Central Michigan baseball program will host its annual Holiday Combo Camp on Dec. 17, with a special incentive for campers in attendance.
The Chippewa coaching staff is inviting campers to "Spend a Day with the Pros," as current professional baseball players and former CMU stars such as Josh Collmenter and Trent Howard will be in attendance to help instruct throughout the day.
Collmenter recently finished his rookie season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, placing fifth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting, going 10-10 with a 3.38 earned-run average. Collmenter was vital in helping the D-Backs claim a NL West Division title and earned a win in game three of the National League Division Series over the Milwaukee Brewers.
The combo camp will feature both a pitching and catching portion in the morning from 10 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. with the option of staying for the hitting and advanced skills camp in the afternoon from 2-5:15 p.m. The cost of each camp is $70 individually, while campers can attend all day for a discounted price of $130. All campers in grades 9-12 are welcome to register for the event and lunch will be provided for those who attend both sessions.
