Winter Training

Players selected for the Northwest Indiana Shockers summer travel team will train a minimum of once a week throughout the winter months. John Mallee will coach the team until he leaves for spring training in late January. Professional training clinics will include: Hitting – “The 6 Absolutes of a Professional Hitter”; Major league base-running concepts; 1st and 3rd team defense; Bunt defense, In-fielding basics; Out-fielding basics; Catching and Pitching mechanic and drills. Teams will follow the same training drills and practice structure that Minor and Major league teams utilize in professional baseball. We look forward to making this the best learning and playing experience for our players.

John Mallee along with his professional staff will help train the team throughout the winter and early springs months.
