Baseball University’s summer showcase teams are coming together. This is a collective effort in the Tampa area to change the landscape of high school baseball and put the FOCUS back on the PLAYER. We just have one questions for you:

Do you train in the summer?

If the answer is no, then we want you to seriously consider Baseball University. Our summer showcase teams train hard to DEVELOP the individual as well as SHOWCASE them. We train six days a week on non-showcase weeks. Four days of baseball and two days of strength and conditioning. We will have intense field training sessions, as well as academy style sessions at the Florida Baseball Institute.

FBi is the workings of the freshly retired Senior VP of the New York Yankees, Mark Newman. Mark will also act as an advisor to Baseball University. At FBi, we will have access to Big League technologies from both the pitching and hitting side. This tech will help us assess what players do well and what they need to work on.

If you know anything about professional baseball and how organizations train minor league players after the completion of their regular season, then you have heard of the word instructs. Instructs is where top tier players within professional organizations go to train and develop key skills that will help them get to the big leagues. For a pitcher it could mean getting on a velocity program or learning a new pitch such as a slider. For an infielder it could be to work on their first step on defense.

Each player has specific objectives to get them to the next level. They also take what they have done at practice and put them to the test in a controlled game. This game could be an inter squad, or a game against another organization’s instructional team. This is a way for players to commit to an adjustment without feeling the pressure to produce.

This is how Baseball University is structured. We train showcase-able skills at practice and reinforce them during inter squads or controlled games against other teams. If we are working on velocity for a pitcher, that pitcher will not be throwing 50% off speed just to get players out. That pitcher will be throwing the vast majority of fastballs. During showcases this might not be the case. We want the players to showcase what they do best, but we will not play to win at the expense of an individual.

The summer will be extremely productive and organized. No longer will an individual come back from the summer throwing slower, hurt, or the same player as when they came in. We will prove that you can develop in the summer as well as get seen. Join us and get better.
