Huge thank you to all of our baseball families who continue to choose us and support what we’re building.

Because of that continued support, along with our relationship with Sponsors Wilson and EvoShield, we’re excited to add a pro-level M3X pitching machine, three new hitting mats, and additional pitching mounds -giving us the ability to have up to 7 pitchers training at the same time.

Just another step forward for the academy and more tools for our players to get better.

Very thankful for everyone who continues to be part of this with us, and we’re already excited for the next round of additions coming in 2027!
