The Wittenberg Baseball Camp gives you the opportunity to receive organized instruction in hitting, pitching, and catching during the winter months of January and February. The camp is designed to give each player technical and mechanical instruction as well as instant feedback so they can take as much information from the camp as possible. Not only will the camp provide you with the necessary repetition, but also will provide high quality and educational guidance to ensure correct repetition, which is equally as important. This is the 26th year that the Wittenberg Baseball Camps have been in operation. Take advantage of the opportunity and improve your baseball skills at the Wittenberg Baseball Camp.
