Instructional Pitching & Catching League

The annual Wartburg College Baseball Pitching/Catching Leagues are forming now! These leagues are for players in grades 5-12, and will be held on Sunday afternoons. Each league meets for 6 times through the months of October, November and December. The leagues are held in the Wartburg – Waverly Sports and Wellness Center in Waverly.

Joel Holst, head coach of the Wartburg Baseball Team, is the league director. Knight Pitching Coaches Jared Pirkl and Ryan Doty and Hitting Coach Cory Carlson and Catching Coach Casey Chaplin will also be featured instructors. The players for the 2018 Wartburg Baseball Team will also be involved with the leagues.

Wartburg’s Pitching/Catching League will have an emphasis toward quality instruction while using individual competition as a tool for motivation. Prizes will be awarded to the top individuals in each division. The league will consist of one session. Because we want to keep the quality of instruction at a high level, we will limit the number of individual pitchers to 30 pitchers and 9 catchers.

The Knights Baseball Winter Pitching/Catching League offers:

• One convenient location – The Wartburg-Waverly Sports & Wellness Center located on the campus of Wartburg College. We will be using the field house in this $35 million facility.
• Personalized instruction by Wartburg baseball staff and players.

• Each player will receive a league T-shirt.
• A chance to be involved in hitting league also, must sign-up for hitting sessions I or III.
