Changes may be in store for Tecumseh's LaCasse Park.
The Tecumseh Baseball Club goes before town council Tuesday to make a pitch for a number of improvements.
Club President Jamie Kell says among the top priorities is construction of a practice field just outside the left field fence.
"It's a 90' base infield so we can continue to develop the players out there while games are going on on the field, says Kell. "We had about a 140% use rate over the last two years on the diamond."
Other upgrades include the installation of artificial turf around the batting cage, warm-up pitching areas, behind home plate and on-deck circles, which Kell says would allow the club to better accomodate a growing number of users.
"We have our five teams, we have the St. Clair Green Giants and the St. Clair Saints. You try and get some high school teams on there for OFSAA and SWOSSA for hosting," he adds"
Kell says construction of a practice field would be paid for by the Tecumseh Baseball Club and St. Clair College.
Other improvements would cost about $30,000 and would be considered during 2019 Tecumseh budget deliberations.
