Former Major League Baseball player and Greene County resident Mike Fischlin has partnered with the Greene County Recreation Department to host his 3rd annual Fisch Camp, a one-day junior baseball camp. After the success of two prior camps, Fischlin is excited to host the event again.
The camp will welcome 100 boys of all skill levels who will participate in a fun day of practice drills, instruction, and game simulations, as well as collect MLB autographs.
Fischlin has invited MLB players, along with the four Atlanta Braves All-Stars from last year, including Kevin Millwood, Jeff Blauser, Glenn Hubbard, and Bruce Benedict.
Additional invitees are former MLB No. 1 draft pick JD Drew, Stephen Drew, Tim Drew, Jeff Treadway, and Nick Swisher. Their presence will provide young athletes with the unique opportunity to learn from some of the best in the game.
The camp will be held on May 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Greene County Recreation Center. The cost of the camp is $20 per player. The camp is open to boys ages 7-14 from Greene, Putnam, Morgan, and surrounding counties. Space will be limited, so early registrations are encouraged to secure a spot. Each participant will receive a Chick-fil-A lunch, drinks, a camp jersey, and a hat.
“We are excited to offer this camp to young athletes in our community,” Fischlin said. “With the assistance of the MLB players and the financial support of our community, we aim to create an unforgettable experience that combines skill development with the joy of the game.”
Fisch Camp is dedicated to providing high-quality baseball training to young athletes in a fun and supportive environment. The experienced coaching staff, alongside Major League Baseball players, is committed to fostering the development of baseball skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship in every camper.
