PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA December 27, 2007 "Gary Wheelock, the Seattle Mariners pitching coach with the Devil Rays pitchers. Gary is using photos of the players to teach the players to make "self corrections".

This year, we will send to Australia in December four teams of skilled American players who have been selected from tryouts and clinics. The journey to the land "down under' will provide our players the opportunity to experience baseball competition equal to professional baseball and college baseball.
