WHAT HAS US EXCITED FOR THE 2024 SEASON

  • Quality of play: We take pride in bringing in high-caliber athletes from across the country representing all levels of collegiate baseball (NCAA D1,D2,D3,NAIA & JUCO programs). Our 2021 season featured the best collection of talent we have had yet and we expect that to continue to grow in 2022. In recent seasons the CLPB has hosted players from notable programs such as Vanderbilt, Florida State, Ohio State, USF, VCU, Dallas Baptist, Boston College and more.

MISSION/GOALS

​

causes for action

  • After 60 game Spring seasons, players continue to wear themselves down throughout Summer with intense schedules

  • Currently players are essentially forced to choose between no summer baseball in exchange for physical development or traditional summer leagues to improve baseball skills

  • Many leagues place players at risk with inadequate implementation of pitch count regulations in Summer (Highest rates of TJ today than ever before)

  • Academics take back seat to baseball careers due to demanding Summer schedules

  • Long bus rides, absence of strength coaches and physical trainers
