Georgetown Prep Baseball

The spring season starts in mid-February and runs through the IAC championships in May. We have workouts on weeknights throughout the summer as our players often play on external teams to Prep during this time. We are proud to support our players on these teams after the spring season is over. Playing multiple sports is encouraged in our program and the Fall is devoted time for this and for any external fall baseball commitments. Mandatory preseason workouts begin in November and are mostly focused on strength and conditioning in preparation for the spring season.

The program hosts summer camps for players starting in 5th grade. These camps feature Prep’s coaches, players and facilities and are a great opportunity to learn about the program and the school. Diamond Skills camps run by Chris Rodriguez also offer the opportunity to be exposed to how the program functions.
