ELITE INVITATION ONLY MIDDLE INFIELD CLINICS
 

Participants are selected through a stringent vetting process and are then sent an invitation to attend these events. We confer with numerous high school, summer team and college coaches as well as professional scouts to identify the top middle infield prospects in the state or region.

 

Steve is committed to grooming the best middle infield athletes in the state into superlative defensive players of college and pro caliber. His goal is to attract the best schools in the country to the region when searching for their next shortstop and second baseman.

 

The invitation is customarily extended to only the top 30 middle infielders in the region or state and should not be mistaken as a marketing ploy to solicit large fees from players and parents.  This clinic is designed to develop the defensive capabilities of each player to their fullest by working on and ingraining the finest of detail of the middle infield player. 

  

Steve’s staff is always composed of current and former professional infielders only.  A minimum 6:1 ratio of these experienced pro players instruct and implement pro level drill work.

 

The clinics customarily consist of 12-16 hours of instruction and are implemented in 2 hour sessions over the course of multiple weeks. Steve is committed to giving each player the tools he needs to succeed in the game beyond the high school level.  The clinic will provide the player with the refined skill set necessary to visually separate them from the rest in the eyes of college recruiters and pro scouts.
