Major League Baseball (MLB) and Baseball New Zealand are teaming up to present ‘Training with the Pros' baseball camp and clinics across Auckland this month, with a week of world-class baseball instruction featuring three current Major League Baseball players, plus some of New Zealand's top coaches and national team players.

The MLB Ambassador Trip will feature the ‘Training with the Pros' camp which will feature Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Mark Melancon, San Diego Padres Catcher Nick Hundley, and Toronto Blue Jays infielder-outfielder Chris Woodward, a veritable All Star team of Major League talent.

There will also be special appearances throughout the week from Maori Australian Baseball League player Moko Moanaroa, former Los Angeles Angels minor leaguer Gus Leger, and recent Boston Red Sox signee Te Wera Bishop.

Major League Baseball's ‘Training with the Pros' concept has been hugely popular in Australia in recent years, and has been a key reason for the sport's growth across the ditch. The programme attracted hundreds of young players last January in Auckland when New York Yankees center fielder and one of the sport's most travelled Ambassadors Curtis Granderson led the list of coaches.

According to Major League Baseball officials, the interest shown by the organisation and some of the world's best baseball players is no coincidence.

Baseball New Zealand would like to thank Tom Nicholson, MLB, Giltrap Audi, Tourism Auckland, SKYCITY Grand Hotel, Sirius Sports, DPOD, and Frucor for their support in making the Training with the Pros baseball camp possible.
