Open Tryouts Set for May 2nd, 2010

1/6/2010

After finishing the 2008 season with a 30-66 record (32 games out of first place), the Schaumburg Flyers improved to 43-53 last season, the largest win increase in team history, and largest win increase in the Northern League in 2009. 

As second year manager Mike Busch starts to put his 2010 roster together, he's looking for that local diamond in the rough. The Flyers 2010 Championship run begins with an open tryout on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 11:00 am at Alexian Field in Schaumburg. Players can sign up in advance to guarantee their spot at the tryout. The cost to participate is $40.00. The fee will be waived for anyone with Double-A experience or higher. Players who impress the Flyers coaching staff will be asked back for a private workout on Monday May 3, 2010. "Chicago is a strong baseball city, and I'm sure that there are players out there that the big league scouts have missed out on," said Flyers manager Mike Busch. "Hopefully we can spot one of those guys at this May tryout."

In a 1999 open tryout, Jim Rushford impressed then manager Ron Kittle, and. just two years later was named the Milwaukee Brewers’ Minor League Player of the Year. Rushford made his major league debut in the summer of 2002.
