Bomb Squad Offers Chance at Baseball Glory

Several of the Northeast Region’s top professional scouts will be at the Bomb Squad Baseball Company, 1174 Kingstown Road in Wakefield Sunday to kick off the Pro Scout Development Clinics.

Northeast Area Scouts’ Jim Bretz of the San Diego Padres, Matt Sherman of the Chicago Cubs and Matt Hyde of the New York Yankees will team up with Northeast Scouting Supervisor Ray Fagnant of the Boston Red Sox to run the clinics. The five-week instructional sessions begin on Nov. 20. Enrollment is limited.

Players attending the Pro Scout Development Clinic at the Bomb Squad will have the opportunity to be seen by Bretz and other members of the Area Code Games staff.

“If you can make an impression on us, you will probably get invited to the tryout,” said Bretz.

Players participating in the Pro Scout Development Clinics will be divided into age groups. Clinics will be held for 13-15 year-olds from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Players 15-17 years old will follow, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

There will be a second five-week session beginning in January.

Space for both sessions is limited. To register for the Pro Scout Development Clinics or for more information, call 401-284-0411.
