Members of the South Dakota State University Jackrabbit baseball coaching staff provided a coach’s clinic for baseball coaches in Dell Rapids on Wednesday, January 27th.  Head Coach Dave Schrage, Assistant Coach Brian Grunzke, and Pitching Coach Ben Norton shared tips, drills, and ideas to 19 Dell Rapids baseball coaches during the clinic.

Coach Schrage said, “What a great thing to talk baseball in the middle of January in South Dakota.  We like going around doing it because I’ll be honest with you, when we leave tonight hopefully we learn something.  There’s not one way to do something.”

Coach Grunzke added during his demonstration, “There’s different ways to do things.  I didn’t invent things.  Most kids are pretty athletic if you let them be athletic.”

The coaches that attended the clinic ranged from coaching 6U baseball all the way to Legion baseball in Dell Rapids.  The coaches saw demonstrations on throwing drills, hitting drills, and pitching drills.

The clinic was free to the coaches that attended and was promoted by the Dell Rapids Baseball Association and Dell Rapids Little League.  Members of both the DRBA and DRLL boards were please with the turnout to the clinic.
