“In terms of improving your 5 tools and knowledge of the game as a player, there is no better environment to do so than the Florida Minor League Camp. As an outfielder, my defense, arm strength, base stealing, base running, noticely improved immediately due to the techniques and experiences from Nick Belmonte. The knowledge that each and every instructor provides on a daily basis, is priceless.”,,, Reese Alexiades Pioneer League star outfielder 2022 Ogden Raptors
“Had a blast at the Florida Minor League Camp. Thank you for keeping us motivated(the non drafted and released guys) and showing us there’s still hope in our careers. We learned a lot and it is much appreciated” , Juan Texiera star outfielder of the 2022 Boise Hawks.
“It was an absolute awesome experience. I learned so much about the game and what separates being good from great.
