The Evansville Otters and Joliet Slammers have announced that the Frontier League preseason tryout scheduled for Saturday May 16 at Bosse Field has been postponed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The tryout at Bosse Field in Evansville, Ind. will be pushed back to Sunday June 14. Stay tuned for more information regarding the tryout at ECTB Stadium in Allentown, Pa., which is currently scheduled for May 15, as new governmental guidelines are announced.
Registration for the previous dates will be valid for the new tryout dates.
Further registration is closed for the tryouts, and attendance will be limited to registered players and essential staff only in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Tryouts start at 9 a.m. Position players can check in from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and pitchers can check in from 11:30 a.m. to noon (all times local).
The event gives each player a chance to showcase their talent in front of Frontier League managers and coaches. The Joliet Slammers and Evansville Otters will be represented at both tryout dates.
