A Unique, Exciting Business to Own
Our mission is to utilize principals learned on The Sandlot to improve the lives and character of young adults today. The Sandlot training approach is based on the five physical tools that major league baseball scouts look at when evaluating players. Those five physical tools are:
Running: speed and base running abilities
Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
Hitting for average: situational hitting
Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball
The sixth and maybe the most important area a scout evaluates are referred to in the industry as “makeup”. This in essence is the character of the player, the overall player’s attitude, dedication, level of respect and self confidence. Many times the sixth tool, the player’s mental aspect, determines if the player makes the team, earns the scholarship, or is offered the professional contract. This sixth element is the core of The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academies training and how we differentiate ourselves from the competition.
