With the advent of the Portland Beavers having left Portland everyone is asking what will happen to
baseball in Portland next season (2011). The Northwest
Independent Baseball League has the answer.
Come see Semi-professional baseball played with local teams and
players form Portland, Gresham, Salem and Vancouver. Fourteen teams
play baseball from May through August at Walker and Sckavone
Stadiums (see schedule at NWIBL.ORG) in Southeast Portland.
Teams consist of players with High School, College, and
Professional experience.
These teams are looking for local sponsorship. Your sponsorship
can be a place to meet after games at a sports pub or
restaurant, (food and sprits as this is an adult team). Auto
Dealers, Auto Parts, Sporting Goods, Sports Academy, Coffee
Roster, or your business...
The 2011 seasons looks for the league to expand with up to 5
new teams (Portland Athletics, Portland Yankees, Westmoreland Red Sox, the
Stumptown Bee's, and the Eastside Brewers). NWIBL Players within the two divisions can continue their
passion playing baseball at the highest level. Players follow
MLB rules and use wood bats.
These teams are looking for new players with Varsity High
School, College, and Professional experience. Baseball players
that are wanting to continue their baseball passion and
competitive sprit can sign up at NWIBL.ORG. Now's your chance
to play in Portland's premier 18 and older Wood Bat Northwest
Independent Baseball League. If your a solid Baseball Coach and
willing to manage we need you...

Needed
|
|
See what you
need to be ready to do...and what Managers want
to see.
Let me list what positions need what attributes:
Catcher- Needs to be a very loud, aware take
charge guy; May be even the smartest and most
baseball-knowledgeable player on your team. You
can't have a slow catcher, he must be agile and
quick. If not, sooner or later it will come back
to haunt you.
1st baseman- Also can't be very slow or it will
hurt you. He must be able to cover some ground as
more infield errors occur from bad throws than
missed balls!
2nd baseman- Quick hands and quick feet. Doesn't
have to be very big so he needs to be able to
make contact at the plate especially if he is
small and doesn't bring too much pop with the
bat.
Shortstop- The leader of your infield and very
quick and hopefully, fast. If he can't cover the
whole left side of the infield, than he should be
a 2nd baseman. Should be very athletic and maybe
your leadoff or #2 hitter.
3rd baseman- Strong arm, doesn't have to be the
quickest but should be able to cover the line
because your shortstop will cover to his left if
he can't reach it. The older the player, the more
he is looked at as a power guy.
Left Fielder- Should be able to charge in very
well because he needs to play deeper than most of
your outfielders due to so many right-handed pull
hitters. Doesn't need the best arm but couldn't
hurt.
Center Fielder- Good to great arm, should be one
of the best and quickest athletes on your team.
If he can't cover much ground, don't pick him or
put him in left or right if he has a superior
arm. He gives the corner outfielders confidence.
Remember. the game is won "Up the Middle"!
Right Fielder- Big arm, needs to make the longest
throws on the field. Again, the older the player,
the more he is expected to hit for power. Doesn't
need great speed, covers limited amount of
ground.
Our Tryouts Consist Of:
Outfielders - Any player who thinks he might be
an outfielder goes to right field. We hit them
fly balls and they throw to 3rd base and then
home. We measure velocity. We look for ability to
judge fly balls, arm strength and accuracy.
Infielders - Any player who thinks they are a 3B,
SS or 2B goes to the shortstop position. We hit
them a series of ground balls (at them, right,
left and slow rollers) and they throw to first
base. Again we measure velocity. We look for
ability to field ground balls, athleticism, arm
strength and accuracy.
First Basemen - We do the same for these guys
except they are stationed at first base and throw
to third base
Catchers - We put them behind the plate and get a
glove to glove stopwatch time on throws to second
base. We look for timing and accuracy. We put
them behind the plate during the hitting tryouts
and pitching tryouts to judge their ability to
receive pitches.
Pitchers - We are simply looking for arm motion,
especially players who don't "shortarm" the ball.
Obviously accuracy and velocity are a factor.
Hitters - We watch swing mechanics. We don't care
if they touch the ball or not. Do their swing
mechanics show that they have the ability to be a
potential hitter
