MESA, Arizona — The sounds of baseball: The crack of the bat against ball, and pitched balls hitting catchers’ mitts, were heard all over the Sloan Park complex Monday morning and early afternoon, and, having headed to Mesa to take in the batting practice sessions, I thought I’d share these short BP videos with you.
First, here’s a photo of the guys waiting to begin the session. In the background you can see Justin Steele holding one of his daughters, brought along for the day.
