Train, Develop, Succeed. We want our players not only to get the proper exposure, but also to learn how to play the game the right way. It’s about getting your college commitment and finding a way to fight for a role your freshman year.

Key accomplishments

We have had 46 college commitments in the past four years. We consider that our biggest accomplishment. We have also won events, such as, Perfect Game (Fla.), USSSA World Series, East Coast Nationals, Northeast Select, NE & Mid-Atlantic Regional, Firecracker and more.

How has PBR been helpful?

PBR has been very helpful in getting our players exposure through their strong showcase events, connections, and a great social media recruiting platform.

Plans ahead

We are attending national events such as WWBA & New Balance Future Stars Series
