The goal of the Orlando Baseball Academy is to provide a learning environment for player development and to teach team concepts in a very individualized game.  We believe that there is a certain way that you should play America's game. We want to teach the youth players of Central Florida the proper way to play the game using proper mechanics and technique to prevent injuries as the players get older.

We work very diligently to help high school age players find the best environment for them at the college level. We help them find a place that suits all of their needs taking into consideration baseball ability, academic ability, and the right surroundings for them to have a successful college career.
