What's New?
To summarize the website changes, it is that we combined the baseball and softball websites into one site. The Hitmen Baseball and Softball Academy is one organization that shares the same values for both baseball and softball.
​
It also shares much of the same content, so why not bring it all together making it easier to find and manage online. And while we are at it, let's give it a fresh new look!
​
With any change comes an adjustment. Below I've highlighted where you can find some of your favorite pages and resources. If you still can't find something you are looking for, please send me an email.
