LIVE: From the Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament - Recap

Dave Lax: We're There

When Mother Nature decides that there is going to be rain, there is not a whole lot that man can do to change her mind. After a great start to the week with players going through workout rotations early in the day and finishing with competitive games in the evening. However, the best laid plans often go awry as rain descended on the Omaha area for the final two days of the event, knocking out any chance for any team to officially be crowned champion. Despite the weather, the Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament was a successful event again this year. Four teams remained in the Championship hunt at the conclusion of the event. They were the Shockers, Hurricanes, Owls and Seminoles.

The event was also highlighted with some great college baseball. All players were able to attend two College World Series games, including the epic North Carolina dismantling of LSU and the Georgia comeback against Fresno State in the opening game of the Championship series. It was truly a great atmosphere for baseball!

At the conclusion of the camp, the coaching staff decided to give out the grand prize, Under Armour bags, to one deserving player on each team. The coaches for each team chose the player based on a combination of performance, attitude and work ethic during the week. The winners were:

Anteaters – John Peluso
Bulldogs – Ryan Debo
Cardinal – Joseph Riley
Hurricanes – Michael Howard
Owls – Adam Decker
Seminoles – Sanchez Tucker
Shockers – Scott Ackley
Sun Devils – Andrew Soto
Tar Heels – Trevor Ramos
Titans – Thomas Mora
Wolfpack – Sam Bruner
49ers – Tyler Hauf

Here at the Baseball Factory, we tip our caps to those players, as well as all the players who consistently worked hard to polish their craft as a baseball player. Good luck to each of you.
