2021 Tod Brown High School Catcher's Camp Begins Sept. 28

The Tod Brown High School Catcher’s Camp will begin on Tuesday, September 28 and will focus on all facets of the game for catchers, from beginners to more experienced high school players.  The camp will be a six-week program, running every Tuesday from Sept. 28 through Nov. 3 and will aid in the development of all high school catchers.

Sign-in for the camp will be at 5:45 pm, and the camp will run from 6-7 pm each Tuesday.

New Mexico baseball traditionally has been the home of amazing college catchers, including current Minnesota Twin Mitch Garver, who was the Mountain West Player of the Year as a catcher while at UNM.  Tod Brown, the head coach of the Lobos, is entering his first season with the program after 14 years as the head man at North Dakota State, twice winning 40 games and playing in last year’s NCAA Tournament, winning its first Division I postseason game 6-1 over Mountain West opponent Nevada. In the same season, NDSU broke a school record with 20 Summit League victories, besting the previous record of 19 set by his 2017 team, and posted an overall record of 42-19. The Bison also led the nation with 25 road wins and set new school records in strikeouts (474) and putouts (1,567) in a single season.

Brown is no stranger to winning as he owns the two highest single season win totals in NDSU history (42 wins in 2021, 40 wins in 2012), and the only two 40+ win seasons by the program. Brown also owns three of the top-five single-season win totals in NDSU history. Under Brown’s leadership, NDSU has played in five Summit League championship games, winning it outright in 2021 and 2014, and qualified for the league’s baseball championship eight out of the last 11 years.

Other members of the camp staff include UNM pitching coach Michael Lopez, defensive coach and recruiting coordinator Jon Coyne and director of operations John Bentley.  For more information on any of the Tod Brown Baseball Camps, click on the link here
