Baseball: Local players invite fans to see workout, sign autographs
Max Fried and Lucas Giolito, former pitching standouts at Harvard-Westlake who became first-round draft choices, have put together a special free event for fans on Sunday, Jan. 26, from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Mid Valley Baseball Complex, 17301 Oxnard Blvd. in Encino.
Called Baseball FanFest, fans will be able to watch local professional players in a workout, then get autographs from the players afterward.
It’s a way for the players to give back to their local community, with free parking and free admission.
“It’s should be a fun day,” Giolito said.
Fried is still adding players to the list of participants, but among the expected players are former UCLA and Glendora pitcher Adam Plutko and former Santa Monica pitcher Tyler Skaggs, now with the Angels.
