Slammers Major League Players Camps
Slammers Training Academy has been host to multiple camps conducted by Major League Ballplayers, as well as being a winter training home to dozens of Professional Ballplayers. Since our Slammers Illinois facility opened in 2008, we have had many Big Leaguers train local players. With 4 Former Major Leaguers working on our training staff, the premier Instruction at Slammers is unique and relative to each player.
