KANSAS CITY, KAN. – The Kansas City T-Bones will hold an open tryout for the 2015 season on Saturday morning, April 25, at 10:30 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

“There are talented and unsigned players throughout the Midwest, and this gives guys a chance to showcase their skills while possibly improving our club,” said T-Bones vice-president and general manager Chris Browne. “We’ve found some of our past players through the open tryout, so it’s always an exciting time for me.”

Members of the T-Bones coaching staff, former professional players, and college coaches will conduct this tryout. Pre-registration is $85 per player and is due before March 25. On-site registration, which begins at 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the tryout, is $100 per player.

The coaching staff will evaluate players for a possible roster spot with the T-Bones, or to recommend them for other professional teams. Former T-Bones who joined the club after an open tryout include Beau Stoker, Kyle Dahman and Drew Graham.
