This event kicks off the Cactus Jack community action week of events based around the city leading up to the much-anticipated 3rd Annual Cactus Jack Celebrity Softball Classic, taking place on Thursday, February 13th at Daikin Park.Hosting 60 youth players, the clinic provided valuable hands-on instruction and mentorship from the Houston community, and offered an exciting opportunity to learn from and speak to celebrity guest instructor two-time MLB All-Star and two-time Golden Glove winner Michael Bourn. Participants were guided through fielding and outfield drills, throwing progressions, hitting, and agility exercises, fostering foundational skill development and teamwork.

This youth-focused initiative underscores Scott and the Cactus Jack Foundation’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and providing athletes with the resources and mentorship they need to succeed both on and off the field, and to inspire the next generation of athletes.
