Notre Dame Activities Night is August 30th this year. At this event, all clubs have booths set up to field questions and gather interest in their club. It is imperative that you come to our booth on Activities Night, as we will gather contact information from students interested and use that information to notify them about tryout times. Currently we do not have a set tryout time, but it will be some time later that week, between Aug. 31 and Sept. 3. Make sure you bring your baseball gear with you! Depending on the field/facility we hold tryouts at, players may be asked to wear flats.
In the past few years, we have had approximately 30 men tryout for 7 positions, give or take. Position players should be prepared to go through defensive drills, take batting practice, and possibly hit live pitching. Pitchers must be ready to throw bullpens and pitch in game-like scenarios. All athletes can expect to be timed on their 60, too. While we appreciate information given to us regarding previous baseball experience, please understand that the evaluation of athletes to make the roster will be based solely upon their performance at tryouts.
We are looking for individuals with a deep love for the game that we can be sure will be committed to our organization. If you have any questions, or can’t make Activities Night for some reason, please email cbnd@nd.edu for more information.
