Event Details
DETAILS
The Ross Natoli Baseball Fall Prospect Camp at Catholic University is designed for advanced high school student-athletes in the 2027-2030 graduating classes who are striving to reach their full potential and eventually compete at the college level. All players will have an opportunity to meet, learn and be evaluated by Coach Natoli and the current Catholic University Baseball coaching staff.
Our Camp coaching staff and instructors will include: Head Coach Ross Natoli in his 41st year, Associate Head Coach Bobby Picardo, Pitching Coach Ethan Risse and Assistant Coaches Kyle Kingsbury and Will Wikner. Varsity players from the 2025-2026 Catholic University Baseball Team will also be on staff to participate as assistant camp instructors and interact with prospects and parents throughout the Camp.
FURTHER INFO
Our camp goals are to provide an ideal forum for prospective student-athletes to display their athletic and baseball talents to the Catholic University baseball coaching staff. Our 1-day format will also provide instruction to improve each player's fundamental skills and prepare players to the fullest for their potential college baseball careers. The camp will emphasize pitching, individual defensive position play, hitting fundamentals, base running, strength and agility training, and live game competition.
Participants will be tested and evaluated in key skills areas including: arm strength, running speed, hitting, pitching, catching, throwing, fielding and base running during showcase/evaluation sessions, position-specific instructional skill development sessions, and live game play.
During lunch, an Academics & College Baseball Experience Forum will be held covering the unique features of Catholic University and the Cardinal Baseball program, our academic requirements and expectations, the college recruiting and admissions process, and a Q&A with Catholic U. coaches and current players.
