My Project

My players are coming into middle school baseball with very limited exposure to the sport of baseball. It is always a confidence boost for young inexperienced player to be able to play with new bats that is not just a hand-me-down from older players and that are sized/weighted for players of their age. I really want to instill a love for the game and hope they can gain enjoyment through playing and watching for life. I am also hoping they gain the skill and desire to continue on to JV and Varsity Baseball in the future. Thank you!
