Recently, Chamberlain was the No. 1 pick of the USSSA Pride in the 2015 National Pro Fastpitch League draft.
“It’s not too often high school players are able to up-close and personal instruction from maybe the best power hitter in the history of collegiate softball.”
Each session is limited to 50 players.
