Information for Pitchers

Pitchers should be prepared to throw two (2) simulated innings each day, if arms allow (and can limit themselves to one day or fewer innings if necessary). We will be available to speak with pitchers about their innings and arms at registration/check-in.

FAQs

Does Headfirst provide a lunch for the campers?
Headfirst does not provide lunch or any meals for campers. Baseball Heaven’s cafe will be open during all camp hours for players and family members alike. There will not be one dedicated lunch break during the afternoon, but players will have breaks during which they will be able to eat a meal or snack. We will communicate these breaks clearly to the players — and when it makes sense to eat lunch.
Is there a sporting goods store near Baseball Heaven where we can pick-up baseball/sports supplies?
There is a Dick’s Sporting Goods approximately 10 miles (20 minutes) from Baseball Heaven in the Smith Haven Mall (620 Smith Haven Mall / Lake Grove, NY 11755). Smith Haven Mall is west of Baseball Heaven off of I-495.
This was my first showcase event and it is hard to see how others could measure up. Access to college coaches was easy and all were eager to give pointers in the field. The games were a lot of fun and the talks about the college baseball experience were very informative. I’m looking forward to coming back as a rising senior. 2012 Mid-Atlantic Honor Roll Camper
