Otters To Have Post Daft Tryout Camp

0

The Evansville Otters will conduct a post draft free agent tryout camp Monday, July 19 at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind.

This workout serves as an open tryout for players who are seeking an opportunity to sign a professional contract for the 2021 season post-MLB draft. Only the first 100 players to sign up will be accepted.

The event gives each player a chance to showcase their talent in front of Frontier League managers and coaches.

“We put a great emphasis on these tryout camps,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “We’re hoping to find undrafted free agents who can benefit our club down the stretch this season and going forward.”

The registration fee for each player is $100 and players can register online at https://www.readysetregister.com/oe_manager/authentication/login.php?ut=1&ei%20d=15014&sid=761.

Tryouts start at 9 a.m. Position players can check in from 8:30 a.m. through 9 a.m. and pitchers can check in from 11:30 a.m. to noon (all times local).

“These tryout camps have been very successful in previous years,” McCauley said. “We have signed several players into Evansville from our preceding preseason, post-draft, and offseason tryouts.”
