For most East High ballplayers, it took years of seasoning before they donned a Trojans jersey and played at the varsity level.
Some of East High’s current varsity players took a few hours and shared some of those hard-earned skills with some of the younger players who might follow in their footsteps.
About 20 Little Leaguers from Corning and Painted Post worked on fundamentals with East High’s players and coaching staff at the clinic. The youngsters, who ranged in age from 8 to 12, worked on hitting, pitching, and defense in the East High gym.
“It was a nice turnout,” said John Knapp, East’s varsity head coach.
The young players rotated through stations, working on mechanics and fundamentals, then practicing the skills they were taught.
“One-on-one instruction really helps,” said Travis Rosenwinkel, one of the varsity players who helped coach at the clinic.
Rosenwinkel and others on the varsity baseball team attended baseball camps and clinics like this one when they were younger, he said.
“It’s really fun when you get to know the kids,” said John Gargano, another varsity player. “I always had fun at the camps and I try to make it the best for them.”
At the various stations, the varsity players worked with youngsters who play the same position they do.
Pelham McClellan, also a varsity player, enjoyed sharing some advice on catching.
“I spent a lot of time working on it; I wanted to be the best at it,” McClellan.
East High JV coach George Bacalles helped kids at the pitching station.
“The connection with younger kids is my favorite part about the clinic; to get them excited about baseball and teach them the basics,” Bacalles said.
Teaching kids the basics of baseball is important to the coaches, and not just because they want to develop standout players for future East High teams.
“The interaction is great, the high school players helping out with kids in the community,” Knapp. “It’s nice community service and it gets the group of boys together to build team unity.”
