Looking For Professional Pitching Instructon In Southern California?

I'm often asked by readers of this blog if I know of a good pitching coach or baseball camp in different parts of the country.

For my readers in Southern California, I highly recommend Called Up Baseball Camps, which are run by my friend and former Chicago Cubs teammate Ben Orr. (Ben, a left-handed pitcher, and I played together for the Boise (Idaho) Hawks in 2001 on a team that included current major league pitchers Sergio Mitre, Angel Guzman and Dontrelle Willis. Boise is the Cubs short-season A affiliate.)

Pro-Level Baseball Instruction In Southern California

Located in La Mirada, Calif., Called Up Baseball Camps feature instruction from some of the best current and former college and pro baseball players in the area.

Sure, the goal at Called Up Baseball Camps is to see young athletes achieve great success on and off of the baseball field. But what I feel truly makes these baseball camps different from others is the fact that the instructors take time each day of camp to do a short Character Value Study from the Bible.

I hope you have the opportunity to take advantage of this baseball instruction. For information about the 2008 Called Up Baseball Winter Camp at La Mirada High School in Calif., or if you're looking for private pitching or hitting/fielding instruction from Ben and his brother, Sam, also a former pro, you can contact them here.
