The TACONIC RANGERS 2022 FALL BALL COLLEGE CAMPUS SHOWCASE AND TRYOUT PROGRAM will be directed by former NY Mets Minor Leaguer and Taconic Rangers North Baseball Program Director, Al Hammell and the Taconic Rangers North Coaching Staff.
The TACONIC RANGERS 2022 FALL BALL COLLEGE CAMPUS SHOWCASE AND TRYOUT PROGRAM is designed to offer a flexible/common-sense fall program for players and families during the busy fall season that will get 9th-12th grade players onto regional college campuses to be evaluated by college coaches and to be evaluated for the TACONIC RANGERS NORTH team rosters for the Summer of 2023.
