Cambridge Baseball Club

Joe Cosgrove of the London Mets and Irish National Team was back in Cambridge on Friday to work with another small group of Atom Smashers!⚾️

Coach Joe put them through tough drills focused on:
⚾️ Footwork
⚾️ Coordination
⚾️ Timing
⚾️ Body posture
⚾️ Correct sequencing in their swings

Our young athletes came away with a better understanding of how to be a more consistent defender while also improving the mechanics of their swings. They also took home a series of drills that they can do at home. Cambridge coaches learned how to be a more effective coach as well!

Thank you, Joe!

Over the past month, we’ve been incredibly lucky to have Laura Hirai in Cambridge, delivering three pitching clinics every week! ⚾️

Coach Laura worked with our newer, developing and more experienced pitchers, helping them:
⚾️ Improve their pitching mechanics through targeted drills
⚾️ Incorporate off-speed pitches without tipping
⚾️ Develop their pitcher defence
⚾️ Understand how to take their game to the next level

Every pitcher also received tailored feedback to help them continue developing beyond the sessions.

An amazing 23 of our players attended at least one clinic, with the majority attending two or more. What a fantastic turnout and a brilliant opportunity for our young pitchers!

A huge thank you, Coach Laura! 👏 We’re so grateful for the time, knowledge and enthusiasm you’ve shared with our players.

And finally, good luck to Laura and the GB Women’s Team in Taiwan later this month! 🇬🇧⚾️ We’ll be cheering you on all the way! 💪

After the East England Games we decamped to the pub for drinks and pizza to wish Coach Ashlee and her family a very fond farewell - Ashlee has been an integral part of the coaching team this year and we are all going to miss her enormously! Thank you for everything Ashlee Vice - we wish you all the very best with your next adventure!

Today some of our youth catchers had the opportunity to work in a small group with Joe Cosgrove. They had a brilliant time and left buzzing with new drills and training to improve their skills ⚾😍⚾

Another cracking day of baseball on Sunday for our Royals and Monarchs with double wins for both teams. A big thank you to Northants Baseball Club and Norwich Iceni Baseball Club for travelling to play - we all had a brilliant time. This coming Sunday, the Royals host Harwich Town Bay Area Blues whilst the Sovereigns are off to Essex Baseball Club to play the Archers - looking forward to seeing everyone!

It was a great Sunday for baseball as the Royals took on Town Bay Area Blues at Harwich & Dovercourt High School and the Monarchs hosted the Essex Redbacks in Cambridge. It was a clean sweep of wins across the board for the Royals and Monarchs, with some really exciting baseball played. Thank you Harwich Town and Essex Baseball Club !
