Birmingham Barons News Release


Birmingham, AL - The Birmingham Barons announced Friday that the Chicago White Sox and scout Warren Hughes will hold a tryout camp at Regions Park on Monday, July 16.

The camp is open for players ages 16-23 and will begin at 9:00 a.m., but registration starts at 8:15 a.m. The length of the camp will depend on the number of players participating, but players should allow for a minimum of four hours.

Participants need to bring their own equipment, including glove, shoes, catcher's gear and bats (bats will be available to participants that do not have one). Players will be timed in the 60-yard dash in addition to being evaluated in hitting, fielding and pitching.

Participants under the age of 21 will need written permission from a parent or legal guardian to attend the tryout. Also, American Legion players will need written permission from their coach to attend if their legion season is not finished.

Players drafted in the 2010 or 2011 Free Agent Draft by any team other than the Chicago White Sox are not permitted to participate. A number of former Barons have been signed through the camp in past years including; pitcher Ehren Wassermann and former catcher Eric Hollis. Both players attended Samford University.
