Baseball Academy

We specialize in top level baseball specific training from former pros & collegiate athletes in our own facility and fields. Our academy is focused on developing athletes physically, mentally and technically to prepare them to compete in advanced levels of the game.

Jason Stidham and Chris Heston will be heading the baseball training on a weekly basis. They will have weekly routines that are perfectly tailored to enhance player performance. Jason Stidham will specialize in the defensive and offensive departments and Chris will take over the pitching performance. Each player will work on all aspects of their game to give them all the necessary tools to succeed on the field.

Each player will have an initial evaluation with stats and performance metrics. Throughout the year we will continue to track and breakdown every athletes movements to give them accurate data to change their game. We will use HiTrax, Rapsodo, and many other training aids to help our athletes reach their goals.
