Reebok supplied the softballs

Reebok's Lee Trotter works with Jason Baxter on the radar gun

 

Brian Wegman tries his 2013 Easton signature bat for the first time.  Of all of the hitting and bp that went on at the combine, Brians hitting display with the new easton was most impressive.

The DJ turned out to be a really good utrip pitcher 

CY mc'd the combine and took a few swings.  He tried to keep the combine players off balance with his humor. 

 

We found something Brian Wegman cannot do.  Pitch BP.  lol
