More than 200 kids from around Utah got to experience playing America’s pastime from future major leaguers on the field at The Ballpark at America First Square, home of the Salt Lake Bees, during a youth clinic organized by the Miller Sports and Entertainment group on Saturday in South Jordan.
Salt Lake Bees players Caden Dana, Houston Harding, Arol Vera and Yolmer Sanchez led the clinic, working directly with the young athletes at each skills station. They encouraged the young athletes, signed autographs, posed for photos and shared smiles all around.
Deseret News photojournalist Lukas Katilius was there and captured the fun.
