Torra Makes His Way To Class AAA

Matt Torra of Pittsfield is one step away from his ultimate goal. But that one step is still a pretty long one. Torra, 23, is a pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization and last night he was scheduled to make his second start at Class AAA Tucson of the Pacific Coast League.

Class AAA is the last minor league step. The next stop would be the major leagues.

UMASS Camp FAQs

Q. What should I bring to my baseball camp or showcase camp?

A. Many times the camp itself will have a recommended list of items to bring to camp, but here are a few things to help you. All position players should bring a bat and glove. Look like a baseball player by wearing a hat, jersey, belt, baseball socks, etc. You need to look the part. If you are a catcher, have your own gear. Hitters, bring your bat and helmet just in case. Don't expect to use the college's equipment and you must be ready to go! Borrow something from a teammate or coach if you do not have one.
