The York Revolution will hold a tryout this Saturday at Sovereign Bank Stadium. Here's the all the important stuff, courtesy of the team:
All players are invited to attend, and representatives from the York Revolution, the Washington Wild Things of the Frontier League, and the American Defenders of New Hampshire of the Canadian-American Association will be on hand to evaluate talent. The tryout will be run by the Revolution, but players will have the opportunity to showcase their talent for three different organizations.
The event will be held rain or shine. If weather forces the tryouts off of Sovereign Bank Stadium’s playing field, players will throw and hit in the stadium’s batting cage.
From 9:05 to 9:20 athletes will stretch, before throwing to conclude warm-ups. From there the infielders, pitchers and catchers will break apart for various drills followed by hitting. The tryout is estimated to end around Noon. The Revolution coaching staff and the others in attendance will then speak with anyone they are still interested in.
Players with a military background should be especially interested in the tryout, as Boston Baseball All-Stars, the group that runs the American Defenders, also operates a travel team of U.S. Military All-Stars. Boston Baseball All-Stars is headed by former Red Sox General Manager Dan Duquette.
The Revolution will provide (wood) bats, balls and helmets for the tryout, and anyone trying out must sign a waiver before participating in the workout. All athletes will sign the waiver upon arrival at Sovereign Bank Stadium on April 4, and must be at least 18 years of age to tryout.
