USSSA Oconomowoc Youth Evaluation Camp Recap
 
For Immediate Release:
USSSA Oconomowoc Youth Evaluation Camp – Oconomowoc, WI

Last week, the Amateur Baseball Report working in partnership with USSSA, hosted the ABR Instructional & Evaluation Camp in Oconomowoc, WI. Over 25 young players attended to show their skills and learn from the pros. “We really want to grow interest in the state of Wisconsin, we feel a lot of kids up here get unnoticed” said Camp Director Mike Moyzis. These future stars were divided into 10-12 player groups and rotated through instructional and evaluation stations. Former White Sox Academy General Manager and Hall of Fame Collegiate Coach Mike Moyzis and Assistant USSSA State Director John Sabatino instructed in base running, throwing, fielding, pitching and hitting.

Participants were evaluated using the ABR Five-Tool evaluation process and Exclusive Player Profiles were created and made available to all campers here on-line.  “We’re really excited about the talent in this camp. We’ll recommend many of these players to participate in our Tri-State All-Star Weekend event” being held this year in Bolingbrook, IL. July 26-29 said Tri-State All-Star Weekend said Co-Camp Director John Sabatino. Invitations will go out this week to the standouts from this camp inviting them to participate in this elite event. Some of these players will also qualify for the Junior All-State Games being held in Fishers, Indiana August 9th-12th. Players can continue to qualify throughout the summer through our Evaluation Camps as well as our USSSA Tournaments.  Information on these events can be found at: www.amateurbaseballreport.com
