About 150 kids from the Ann Arbor area got to spend Sunday morning learning skills from the University of Michigan baseball team and Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson.
The 1st through 8th graders were in small groups around U-M’s Ray Fisher Stadium. Parents and fans were in the stands taking pictures while the kids went through various baseball drills.
Torkelson says he enjoys getting together with the youngsters.
“I see a lot of myself in the kids and just like the love of the game and just wanting to get better. And it means a lot to me to get the invite, to help out and have some fun for an hour with these guys.”
The Impact Camp was hosted by HAP CareSource. It focuses on addressing social drivers of health and improving community well-being.
President Sarah Musser says they want to emphasize how physical and mental health go together.
