Eager Beaver coach Jeff Flesher took to the Rogers Centre
field in September with some of the top 15-16 year old baseball players in the
country for the 2011 edition of the Mizuno Elite Development Camp. The camp is
hosted annually by Major League Baseball, Mizuno Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays
and Baseball Canada.
Instructors included Blue Jays and the National Team staff
as well as coaches from each province who assisted with on-field drills. The
coaches completed the ten modules required in Baseball Canada’s NCCP
Competitive Development stream.
Flesher said, “It was a fast four days. The daily routine
was basically an on-field workout followed by about four hours in class and
then relaxing at the Jays game. The talent level of some of the kids was
unbelievable, and having a chance to work with big league and national team
coaches was a great opportunity. I picked up a lot of stuff that I look forward
to sharing with coaches and players in our region through NCCP clinics and
other events that local associations host.”
When asked for his highlight of the camp, Flesher said the
answer is easy. “The showcase game, for sure. I coached with Adam Stern
(Centrefield Sports) while London umpire Sean Taylor worked the bases. It was
great to be part of a London presence at a national event.”
The Mizuno Camp features an impressive list of alumni as
big-leaguers Brett Lawrie (Langley, BC) and Russell Martin (Montréal, QC) along
with former 1st round picks Adam Loewen (Surrey, BC), Phillippe
Aumont (Gatineau, QC) and Kellin Deglan (Langley, BC) have all attended in the
past.
