A player’s first step when working with Baseball Factory is attending an Under Armour National Tour event. Baseball Factory scouts thoroughly evaluate prospective college baseball players at these events. Once evaluated, these scouts will recommend players for a variety of development opportunities. Baseball Factory prides itself on being an evaluation first organization. This ensures that the development opportunities align with a player’s skill set.
The developmental programs offered include national teams, national training events, regional training events, pre-season tournaments, and Under Armour All-American games. All of these experiences provide players with a high level of instruction and exposure to college coaches.
