TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama baseball team will host an exposure camp on Dec. 19-20 for pitchers and position players available to current 10th-12th graders. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday with Sunday's time to be determined based on teams selected at the camp.
Exposure camp offers players the opportunity to showcase their talents in front some of the best coaches in college baseball, and also provides players the instruction and teaching to mold their abilities to The University of Alabama way of playing baseball. The morning session will be dedicated to players showcasing their skill sets and after lunch time will be dedicated to teaching the game at an advanced level from the Crimson Tide coaching staff along with other collegiate coaches.
