It's been more than a decade since Ben Boulware was tearing up the pitching in the De Anza Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League as a baseball player at Los Gatos High School.
Now, 12 years later, Boulware is returning home to share some of his secrets for hitting with young Los Gatos baseball players.
Boulware, the CEO of America's Baseball Camps (ABC) in Scottsdale, Ariz., will host a baseball camp for kids on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at the Los Gatos High School baseball diamond.
Campers ages 69 will attend 9 a.m.12:30 p.m. on Saturday and noon3 p.m. on Sunday, and campers ages 1016 will attend sessions 14:30 p.m. on Saturday and 36 p.m. on Sunday.
The cost is $99 per player, and campers will receive 6 1/2 hours of instruction, a camp T-shirt and detailed hitting evaluations. Camps will be held rain or shine.
Boulware and his staff will provide the hitting instruction, and Boulware certainly knows something about hitting, if his Los Gatos statistics are any indications.
Boulware was a varsity baseball player for four years at Los Gatos, starring for the Cats 1987 through 1990. He holds the school record for extra base hits in a season (16 in 1989), and he led the club in the category for three straight years, from '88 through '90. He was also the team's total base leader in 1988 and '89.
Boulware, who proved he could catch the ball as well as hit it when he was picked the team's outstanding defensive player in 1999, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox.
