Malden Recreation & Malden High Baseball host 3rd Annual Summer Baseball Clinic

MALDEN – The Malden Recreation Department and Malden High School Baseball teamed up to host over 30 players at a week-long instructional Summer Baseball Clinic.

The 3rd Annual event was held at Rotondi Field at Howard Park on the city’s east side and featured skill evaluation, instructional drills in all phases of the game: Hitting, Fielding, Baserunning and Pitching.

Lead instructor was Malden High School assistant baseball coach Mike Nicholson along with past and former MHS players and Malden High head baseball coach Steve Freker. Some of the players who helped out included former MHS Captain Clifton Noelsaint and returning MHS varsity players, captain Ryan Coggswell, Bo Stead, Bryan Jose, Ryan Bowdridge, Sean Hudson and Joe Hatch.

The camp was open to boys and girls citywide and was free of charge to all who participated.

Malden High Baseball and Malden Recreation Department also get together for free instructional baseball clinics at the expansive Salemwood K-8 School Fieldhouse.

“It is a great partnership between the Malden Public Schools and Malden Recreation in providing a lot of opportunities to either compete for teams or just get some excellent instruction for many student-athletes of all grades and ages, year-round,” said MPS Director of Wellness, Physical Education and Athletics Charlie Conefrey. “We now offer multiple sports for boys and girls in middle school leagues in the Greater Boston League through the Malden Recreation Dept. and many other programs throughout the school year and summer.”
