This past week, we held our second annual Full Count Nike RBI Baseball Skills Academy at Jefferson High School. During this three-day camp, 30 ballplayers came to Jefferson to learn baseball fundamentals and improve their skills. 
 
Highlights from the camp were:
  • Baseball skills stations with FOB coaches and mentors
  • Stations with focus on defensive and hitting skills 
  •  A thought-provoking lesson with inspirational guest speaker, Tyler Monk about the importance of academics and how important it is to be a Major League Citizen. 
  • More VIP Guest speakers including catching coach Kevin Lovings, and Former college player, Blair Frederick who spoke about their experience being a Black ballplayer and how to transform their challenges into professional success 
  • Breakfast, lunch, water and snacks were provided all 3 days 

​THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Nike, PIL, Dicks Sporting Goods Foundation, and Commissary Café 

 
AND OUR PARTNERS: Mariners Care Foundation, The Underdog Mentality, MLB and IRCO
