Tryouts Draw Texas, Eastern New Mexico Players for Major League Camp
In Odessa at American Legion Stadium, a wide range of players aged 15 to 22 tested for major league potential. Reds scouting supervisor Lesser noted this was the largest camp this year as athletes ran 60 yard dashes and demonstrated arm strength from deep right field. Thomas Martinez, a Permian High grad, debuted at the camp with relaxed determination, while Houser urged precision and praised early identification of talent, even as few signees emerge from tryouts.
