What 15U Looks Like
Compete & Get Seen. Competing at a real level, preparing for high school and beyond, and being evaluated honestly.
Hitting
Never beaten by a fastball. Each hitter builds an approach per pitcher, count and situation.
Defense
Roles are earned and everything is evaluated, including the pitches where nothing happens.
Baserunning
Running to score: scout the battery and know when not to run.
Pitching
Full arsenal, but the basics never change: get ahead, win 1-1, three pitches or less, read the swing.
- Training Focus
- Refine: explosiveness, advanced skills and preparing for the next level
- Field
- Full dimensions
- Positions
- Roles are specialized and earned, and a credible second position keeps getting reps
- Arm Care
- Full arsenal and sequencing with command first, 95 pitches a day max at 15–16 and 105 at 17–18
- Playing Time
- Every player plays in every event, in a role communicated in advance, with multiple at-bats and defensive innings
