Schroeder Park will serve from July 2-24 as the alternative site for the Houston Astros’ daily workouts as the delayed MLB season looks to start, the University announced on Monday morning.
“Don Sanders Field at Darryl and Lori Schroeder Park along with our Baseball Player Development Center rank among the best facilities in college baseball and with our close proximity to Minute Maid Park, we are glad that we could provide another training site for the Astros as they get ready to start their season,” athletic director Chris Pezman said.
The ballpark and its nearby facilities, including the newly opened Player Development Center, will be used along with Minute Maid Park as the Astros try to implement social distancing policies amid the coronavirus pandemic.
