Alumni

Since we’ve opened, nearly every top Kansas City draft pick has trained at Premier Baseball and has been part of the Premier family. The local news has done stories on players that train with us every year. We’ve also had the MLB Network at our facility when they did a story on our highest drafted players to date, Riley Pint and Joey Wentz. See the top names that have trained with us below.
