MLB-level Training for local players
Building Central Minnesota’s year-round legacy of baseball and softball excellence through technology, teamwork, and competitive spirit.
Core Values
- Family – Sports are stronger when families train together.
- Community – Building relationships that last beyond the cages.
- Excellence – Pursuing progress in every swing, pitch, and rep.
- Innovation – Using technology to unlock potential in every athlete.
Why we are building The Hitting Yard
- Because it’s personal.
I’ve watched my sons — and so many other local kids — work hard, love the game, and still fall short because they don’t have the same access as athletes in bigger cities. - I’ve watched other teams hit with power, confidence, and precision while ours work just as hard but lack access to the tools that drive improvement.
- This isn’t about effort.
Our kids have the talent. They just don’t have the same resources, data, or consistent reps. - The Hitting Yard changes that.
It’s a year-round home where players can train, compete, and believe again — and where families can grow together through the game. - This is about closing the gap.
Between metro and rural, between potential and performance, between dreams and opportunity. - It’s not just for my family.
It’s for every kid who’s felt overlooked, every parent who’s driven hours for better training, and every coach who’s wanted more for their team. - My why is simple:
To give Central Minnesota families the place, tools, and confidence to chase big dreams — together.
The Struggles we face in West Central Minnesota
- 1. No Year-Round Baseball or Softball Training in Alexandria
- → The result: Local athletes fall behind and parents spend countless hours driving..
- 2. Lack of Family-Centered Baseball/Softball Experiences
- → The result: Parents feel distant, kids feel unsupported, and valuable family time is lost.
- 3. No Access to Professional-Level Technology Locally
- → The result: Alexandria athletes are underrepresented and underdeveloped compared to metro competitors.
- 4. Limited Access for Softball Players
- → The result: talented softball players either travel long distances or lose development time entirely.
- 5. Missed Economic & Community Opportunities
- → The result: the economic and cultural benefits of youth sports leave Alexandria — instead of fueling it.
