9-TIME GOLD GLOVE WINNER TORII HUNTER OF THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS
" I have known John & Jeff since I played Little League and we were neighbors. If you want to advance your skills and get exposure, I encourage you to attend PRO-DAY Baseball."
* Note: Torii lived only eight houses growing up from the PRO-DAY Directors. They took him to the Rangers Try-out camp his senior year, unfortunately Texas didn't have a first round pick that season and Hunter was drafted in the first round (#20 overall) by the Minnesota Twins. Alex Rodgriguez was the first overall pick by the Seattle Mariners in that 1993 draft.

Torii Hunter - LA Angels
 
 
"I've worked with Jeff for over a decade & been apart of many PRO-DAY Showcases. What they do his very unique, if you never been to a PRO-DAY event, I encourage you to start today. Not only are you going to be seen, you will take knowledge back home with you when you leave PRO-DAY to make you a better baseball player."

FORMER PRO-DAY BASEBALL STANDOUT TRAVIS WOOD MAKES AN IMPRESSIVE MLB DEBUT WITH THE CINCINNATI REDS
Chicago, IL -- Former PRO-DAY Baseball standout Travis Wood made an impressive Major League debut
yesterday for the Cincinnati Reds, throwing a two-hit shutout thru seven innings against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The lefthander was in control the entire game for the Reds while just throwing 91 pitches in the game while striking out four. He faced two batters in the eighth before coming out.
"He had a tremendous performance," said Reds Manager Dusty Baker.
Wood, the Reds "2009 Minor League Pitcher of the Year" participated in his first ever Showcase with PRO-DAY Baseball after his freshman high school season at Harding University in Seary (AR).
The Bryant High School (AR) standout was 87-88 at the Showcase
and his future and his college/pro scouts interest was just getting underway.
"We knew Travis was going to be special and pitching in the show one day after his performance at our showcase at Harding University," said Jeff Gross, director of PRO-DAY Baseball. "The PRO-DAY Staff wish him continue success throughout his career."
The 23-year old was a second-round pick in the 2005 MLB
draft and the 60th overall pick.

FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER MATT WHITESIDE
" I have known the men who operate PRO-DAY Baseball for over 20-years. Their experience in the game, and knowledge of the game, are an asset to anyone they come in contact with. I would encourage any baseball player who aspires to play at the next level to be around the PRO-DAY program, and its baseball people as often as possible.
* Note: John & Jeff Gross, found Matt when he was a pitcher at Arkansas State University while scouting with the Texas Rangers. Whiteside would later pitch on the Rangers Staff with the "Great" Nolan Ryan. Matt pitched 11-years in the major leagues.
