On the heels of our recent Drew Storen Announcementwe are very excited to add Nationals' relief pitcher Aaron Barrett to the list of special guests attending Big Train Celebrity Camp at Shirley Povich Field from July 6 - July 10! 

Aaron Barrett is in his second season with the Washington Nationals after being drafting in 2010 out of Ole Miss. Barrett earned his first win in his MLB debut on Opening Day in 2014 and has a career ERA of 2.28. So far in the 2015 season, Barrett has appeared in seven games, has given up 2 total hits, and has yet to allow an earned-run. 

In addition to meeting Washington Nationals' players, all campers will receive excellent instruction in the fundamentals of the game as well as the opportunity to play in a live game each day. Each camper will receive an official Big Train & BCC Baseball Summer Camp t-shirt that will entitle the camper to free admission to all Big Train home games at Shirley Povich Field during the 2015 regular season.
