Private Tryouts Now Open
We are an independent 13U AA baseball team entering a new chapter. After seven great years playing in the 3&2 Rec League, our players (all 7th grade) are ready to move up to more competitive baseball. As a result, we’re forming a dedicated, development-focused team for the upcoming season.
Our team is not affiliated with any club or organization. We believe in a balanced, intentional approach to youth baseball—one that emphasizes skill development, consistency, and character over excessive tournaments that lead to burnout. Our primary focus will be League Play at 3&2, supplemented by one tournament per month to provide competitive experience without overloading families.
We completed our formal tryouts in January and have a solid roster. We are still looking to add 1 to 2 additional players to address a couple of needs. Specifically players with the following experience:
Outfield
Pitching
Utility
The type of player we are looking for is a motivated, coachable athletes who (is):
Eager to improve their fielding, hitting, pitching, and catching fundamentals;
Shows hustle, focus, and a willingness to learn; and
Values teamwork, respect, and good sportsmanship
We will gladly organize a private tryout for your son with our team. It will include the following components:
Warmups: Dynamic stretching and throwing progression
Fielding Drills: Infield and outfield reps to assess footwork, glove work, and throwing accuracy
Hitting Evaluation: Batting practice to evaluate swing mechanics, contact, and power
Pitcher & Catcher Evaluation: Separate sessions to assess mechanics, velocity, control, and receiving skills
Eligibility requires the player to have been born after May 1st, 2012. Most players on the team will be in the 7th Grade. Tryouts will be held at D-Bat KC (16150 W 110th St, Lenexa, KS 66219).
