PRO-DAY Baseball will host the Ralph Gross Memorial Baseball Camp Saturday, March 7, from 9-11:30 am at the Scrapper Dome Indoor Facility on the campus of Nashville High School, according to Jeff Gross, founder of PRO-DAY Baseball and son of the late Ralph Gross.
Players ages 8-14 years will learn hitting, fielding, pitching and base-running from the former Texas Rangers/Chicago Cubs scout during the session.
Gross has worked in baseball on both the professional and minor league levels along with coaching college baseball at the University of Arkansas/Monticello and Pensacola Junior College.
Since he founded PRODAY Baseball in 1989, he has helped hundreds of players advance into professional baseball and with many others going on to receive scholarships to play college baseball.
Current/recent Major League players he has been associated with include: 9-time Gold Glove Winner Torii Hunter (Minnesota Twins), Travis Wood (Chicago Cubs), Justin & BJ Upton (Atlanta Braves), John Buck (Seattle Mariners), Stephen Drew (Boston Red Sox) and Billy Sadler (San Francisco Giants) to name a few.
Held during the Ralphy Gross Memorial Baseball Tournament, the camp is named in memory of the 1952 Nashville High graduate who was a five-star athlete in baseball, basketball, football, track and tennis.
The money raised from this camp helps go to a student-athlete each year at Nashville High who plans to go off to college to continue their education while playing sports.
The Ralph Gross Athletic Scholarship Award has been presented annually since 2003.
The cost of the camp is $40 and participants are limited, so sign-up early.
Players need to bring gloves, any other equipment needed and wear tennis shoes on the artificial turf field.
