OUR WAY
OUR PROGRAM
LEADERSHIP OUR LEADERS ARE FORMER PRO & COLLEGE PLAYERS WHO "HAVE BEEN THERE." OUR LEADERS HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE UPS AND DOWNS OF BASEBALL AND WHAT IT TAKES PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY TO REACH A HIGH LEVEL
​
PITCHING DEVELOPMENT ALL PLAYERS RECEIVE GAME PITCHING REPS TO SPREAD THE WORKLOAD FOR SAFETY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL STUDENTS
​
FIELDING DEVELOPMENT ALL PLAYERS PLAY BOTH INFIELD AND OUTFIELD TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE GAME OF BASEBALL AND TO PREPARE THEM FOR HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE ROSTER NEEDS
​
CONFIDENCE DEVELOPMENT FOCUS ON WHAT PLAYERS DO WELL & ALLOW SPACE FOR PLAYERS TO COACH THEMSELVES AND EARN TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES RATHER THAN FROM COACHES
OTHER PROGRAMS
LEADERSHIP OTHER PROGRAMS MAY NOT RECEIVE DIRECT TRAINING FROM COACHES WHO UNDERSTAND A HIGH LEVEL OF BASEBALL WHICH WOULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AND TRUST OR UNSAFE THROWING MECHANICS
​
OVER PITCHING FOCUS ON TOP 1-4 PITCHERS WHO START EVERY GAME - PUTTING WINNING OVER SAFETY AND DEVELOPMENT
​​
STARTERS ONLY PLAYERS MASTER ONE POSITION ONLY WHICH PROHIBITS THEM FROM GAINING EXPERIENCE AT POSITIONS THEY WILL PLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
​​
OVER COACHING COACHING MECHANICS MID-GAME WHICH MAY CONFUSE PLAYERS INSTEAD OF RESERVING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS FOR PRACTICE - BENCHING PLAYERS WHEN THEY MAKE ERRORS RATHER THAN GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO REDEEM THEMSELVES
