The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will host a free two-day youth baseball hitting clinic this weekend in Pine Bluff as part of an effort to promote youth engagement and community involvement.
Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr. announced the clinic will be held Jan. 17–18 at 3811 W. 25th Ave., located behind Sissy’s Log Cabin. Sessions are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
The clinic will feature instruction from Mike Mosley, known as “Mr. 7000,” a former Major League Baseball player and elite batting practice pitcher. Mosley holds a Guinness World Record for throwing 7,000 hittable pitches in under nine hours and operates the Mr. 7000 Baseball Academy, which focuses on developing young athletes and training professional players.
The event is being organized with assistance from YouTuber and content creator Kito Abashi and is open to youth at no cost. Participants will receive hands-on hitting instruction and skill development from experienced trainers.
Registration is required and is currently open. Parents and guardians can register participants by scanning the QR code on the event flyer or by visiting the online registration link at https://forms.gle/Wo4pMesuC8cbjXNb7.
Woods said the clinic is part of the Sheriff’s Office’s continued efforts to invest in local youth and provide positive opportunities through sports and community partnerships.
