Our programs were created to treat each athlete as an individual, and to create training and development as unique as the person. Every athlete who signs up for a Premier Program will be fully assessed so we can tailor the program to their needs. No matter what level of skill or age a player is, we will help that athlete reach his maximum potential and reach as high as level as the athlete desires.

Since we’ve opened, nearly every top Kansas City draft pick has trained at Premier Baseball and has been part of the Premier family, including multiple first round draft picks and current major league players who are also alumni of our pitching program.
