Camps, Clinics, and Training

Minneapolis Millers - 2026 Baseball Training 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the Millers Winter Clinics and the MSA Baseball Clinics?

The MSA Baseball Clinic provides detailed instruction—teaching proper techniques, skill refinement, and structured progressions—while the Millers Winter Clinics prioritize maximizing reps.

For example, MSA hitting clinics will use video analysis to create individualized training plans, while the Millers Winter Clinics will use tee drills and batting practice to build consistency through reps. Both, of course, make sure players enjoy the game and have fun along the way.

Other differences include:
