Baseball/Fastpitch Academics Midwest is Indiana’s only travel program focused on developing the SIX tool player. While the five physical skills indicate upside, the sixth tool, mental aptitude for the game, gives a better indication of ceiling and coachability.
Our program is designed to accelerate growth both physically and mentally through the use of a Mental Training Curriculum, Offensive Approach Training, Pitching Approach Training, Baserunning Approach Training, Arm
Care Implementation, Hitting Metric Implementation, Visual Occlusion Training via WINReality, and Hand-Eye Training.
Our players are expected to master the mental side of the game in order to perform better physically, and drills/practices are designed to help players convert mental understanding into physical skill.
