Nats host youth baseball clinic

The Nationals will host the second of five youth baseball clinics at 10 a.m. this Saturday at Nationals Park. Children throughout the Washington, DC area will be taught the fundamentals of hitting, fielding and pitching by the members of the Nationals coaching staff. There will be six stations that the participants will rotate through during the morning, including batting in the indoor cages with Hitting Coach Rick Eckstein, fielding grounders with Third Base Coach Pat Listach and learning the art of the outfield with First Base Coach Marquis Grissom.

The two remaining public clinic dates for the 2009 season are Saturdays, July 25 and August 22. For more information on Nationals Youth Baseball or to sign up for future clinics, please email community.relations@nationals.com.
