Koby will be the catcher as his father pitches.

"This is cool stuff. Having Koby, my oldest son, back there to catch a game will be great. Glad he's getting the opportunity to do so," Roger Clemens told KPRC Local 2. "We had the opportunity to work alongside each other a few years back, but never as a pitcher/catcher. Looking forward to this."
Local 2 has learned that Koby plans to remain with the Skeeters for the remainder of this season.
Friday's Skeeters game is a sell-out at Constellation Field.
"We will have many special guests there to watch. Thanks, again, Sugar Land," Roger Clemens said.
The Skeeters organization has not commented on the move.
Seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens, 50, debuted for the Skeeters on Aug. 25, pitching three and a third scoreless innings against the Bridgeport Bluefish. It was his first professional game in five years.
