It was cold outside but the action inside the Wichita State indoor facility was heating up as young players converged onto the campus for the Just Block It camp held by coach Mike Gehrer. 

“Just Block It campers had a special camp in Wichita the first weekend in January,” said coach Gehrer. “Head coach Eric Wedge, his coaches and catchers were all present and worked the camp. Coach Wedge took special time to address the campers and talked about keeping your goals present and in front of you at all times. He also challenged the campers to work hard, be mentaly tough and to be good listeners and learners.” 

Catching wasn’t the only item on the menu. The pitchers got their opportunity to hear from coach Mike Pelfrey who discussed the importance both positions have to the overall success of the team. 

“Pitching coach Mike Pelfrey came in on Sunday and discussed the importance of the Pitcher/Catcher relationship,” said coach Gehrer. 

This was a special opportunity for campers to get some work in before their seasons get underway in a few short weeks. 

“We want to thank all our campers and their parents for taking the time to come to Wichita State and work on becoming the best catchers they can be,” said coach Gehrer.
