Excited for our annual collegiate showcase this Saturday, 8/22 at Homefield on Field 1 beginning at 9 am. 100+ of Kansas City's uncommitted seniors will be there. See the schedule for position players and bullpens below.
Yesterday’s success doesn’t entitle you to anything today.
Your position. Your playing time. Your opportunities. Your future.
They have to be earned.
In the weight room. In the cage. On the field. On the mound. In the classroom. And in the way you carry yourself.
Keep showing up. Keep putting in the work.
Earn it every day.

⚾️ Catchers are different. Their training should be too.
The catcher is one of the most demanding positions on the baseball field. Receiving, blocking, throwing, footwork, communication, and leadership all require skills that aren’t developed in a typical team practice.
That’s why we’re offering our Summer Catchers Clinic next week at Smith Baseball Academy.
Over two mornings, players will receive focused instruction designed specifically for catchers to help build confidence and improve their defensive game behind the plate.
📅 July 14–15
⏰ 9:00–10:30 AM each day
👦 Boys Ages 9–14
We’ll cover:
🥎 Receiving & Framing
🥎 Blocking & Recovery
🥎 Throwing Mechanics & Footwork
🥎 Agility & Movement
🥎 Game Awareness & Leadership
If your son is ready to become a more confident catcher, we’d love to have him join us.
