Why BBT? Because Your Kid Deserves Better.

Most youth baseball "academies" are run by well-meaning dads with a cage in their garage. BBT is different. We've assembled a full coaching staff — including professional baseball alumni and college players — from organizations like the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, UC Davis, Cal Poly, and the University of New Mexico. Your child isn't getting volunteer-level instruction. They're getting coached by athletes who've played the game at the highest levels.

3

Pro Alumni On Staff

Your kid is coached by former Chicago Cubs and LA Dodgers players — not parent volunteers. Bruce Carmichael (Cubs), Kris Krise (Dodgers), and Gabe Emmett (Dodgers) bring real professional experience to every session.

17

Coaches, 10+ Programs

Every BBT coach played college ball or higher — UC Davis, Cal Poly Pomona, University of New Mexico, Santa Clara, Oklahoma Baptist, Chico State, and more. This isn't weekend clinic instruction. It's real development.

11+

Travel Teams, 2 Facilities
