From the team
We're here to build program tradition where world class academics meets elite athletics. In the MAI baseball program, you will be instructed by elite level coaches year around, while playing a competitive 50+ game schedule on the East Coast.
Our state-of-the-art facilities include two turf fields (with lights and trackman), an indoor facility with a full infield, batting cages, mounds, plus a Hack Attack pitching machine.

Coaching across age groups
Middle School
(Grades 6-8)
We introduce young athletes to baseball in positive, welcoming, supported, learning environment. Our young players will get on field instruction nine months a year with be drilled, disciplined, and taught the “Masters Way” by high level experienced coaches.
Priority will be support and guidance with tangible short term and long term goals for our younger players. Focus on growth and development – trust the process. Foundational skills, technique, strength and conditioning, nutrition will be daily routine. Resilience and embracing adversity will be paramount principles to be learned at this level. We expect passionate players to be excited about practice every day.
Upper School
(Grades 9-12)
Training evolves for older students in much of the same way as Middle School, adding more intense and advanced instruction including but not limited to advanced hitting, throwing, fielding, and catching instruction alongside game strategy and the baseball IQ and game situational approach – push yourself – be disciplined especially when no one is watching.
Life lessons are taught through sports – being prompt, positive, coachable, open to constructive criticism, and collaboration. A responsible student-athlete is a good citizen and a good student, who cares about his studies.
College Prep / Elite Athletes
We have helped commit 400+players in our time, between Richard and his on field coaches. It’s about connecting student-athletes at the next level at places that will set them up for life. Think 40 years of life as opposed to 4 years of baseball. We will make sure that our student athletes commit to the college that is the best overall fit for them – size, location, academic program, etc.
We will support our athletes academically, socially, and athletically – we have many connections through our years of the Student Athletic Advisory Group, and have advised all of them regarding the application process, registering with the NCAA clearinghouse, and all other avenues needed during the college recruitment process.
