With the Independent baseball season starting in May 2012, many players are trying to get their foot in the door of Pro Ball with fewer and fewer opportunities. The Pecos Spring League is bringing opportunities to players, coaches and umpires in an event packed month of March. The League has local sponsors so the costs are about 1/2 of the costs of other leagues.
For those that are looking for an additional opportunity, the Pecos Spring League may be the most viable option, the Pecos Spring League is a feeder league for the Full Season Pecos League of Professional Baseball Clubs. The Pecos League of Professional Baseball Clubs moved more than 40 of its players to higher leagues and gave around 249 players the opportunity to play ball in New Mexico and West Texas.
This season the Pecos Spring League will open its doors to all Independent Leagues and affliated teams who might be searching for players to finalize their roster. The location of the Pecos Spring League is much different than other leagues. It will be located in Houston, Texas. Texas has never had such a developmental league. There are other such leagues that have existed in Arizona and California but this will be a first for the Lone Star State. The Full Season Pecos League will be offering around 30 Spring Training Invites and this gives local Texas Players a huge chance to test the waters for a month with actual Pecos League Coaches. This is an instructional business and is a real opportunity for those players who literally slipped through the cracks and need the chance to play.
The Pecos Spring League is ideal for players that did not get full opportunities at the college level to get exposure and possibly a spring training invite. The League is also ideal for players who are coming off of injuries. The league will begin March 5th and conclude March 28th at Coastal Baseball Park in Houston Texas. Coastal Baseball Park features artificial turf infields to battle Houstons rain.
