Mission:
Our goal is to develop baseball players and people. We want to work on the fundamentals of baseball through our practices and give our players the tools they need to be ready. We want our players to be prepared to play Middle School and High School baseball.
Crazy travel is not a necessity. As a former college coach, I never once, went and looked at a 13-14 year old. We need good practices with players who are eager to get better. When the time is right and the kids are ready, we can do showcases and they can travel to play perfect game tournaments. We will get exposure when the kids get older, but we do not want our kids to get EXPOSED. This is why practice and development on individual skills is crucial at this age. I also do not believe in participating in many tournaments where games are 1 hour and 50 minutes. Kids are getting 2 at bats a game and playing 3 games in a day. (The pros don’t even overload like that, so why would we do that to our kids?)
Pro Diamond Baseball is respected amongst the baseball community as we have friends who have teams as well. We will get scrimmages against good competition during the year especially spring time.
Commitment is required to be a part of a Pro Diamond Baseball Team. We will practice during the week with games scheduled in between and on weekends.
There will be 2 weeks in August and can block out some weekends where it will be vacation time.
Playing Time: I will give everyone an opportunity. Players must earn their spot through practices, attitude, and games. Everyone on the team will get their at bats, and innings in, over the course of the season.
