Open tryout · 9U · Spring 2027
Monday, November 165:00 p.m.
One Waves 9U. No A squad, no B squad, and a small roster on purpose, so he plays. One evening indoors in Huntington. Every position open, pitching most of all.

Pitching is the one place we are not near the top, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is also the opening. Put a boy who throws strikes in front of the best offense in this league and he wins games in April. That spot is open and it is his to take.
Why this team
What makes us different.
We are not a factory. We are building one good club team, kept small on purpose, and we are looking for the right players for it. Athletes who want to be pushed, who want to win, and who want to do it beside their best friends.
We are not a factory.
No A team, no B team, and no roster built around however many boys turn up. There is one Waves 9U, we keep it small on purpose, and we want the right players for it.
He plays.
He came to play baseball, not to watch it. Nobody on this team is here to fill a bench.
The same three coaches every week.
Not rotating staff. Practice nights are set in advance and nothing moves the night before.
We bring in Division I coaches to evaluate.
Every player at the tryout is graded by college coaches at the Division I level on performance, athleticism and grit. They see things nobody sees from their own dugout, and we use that read to find the best ballplayers in the gym and the boys who are going to become them. Our own sons play on this team, which is exactly why we want an outside set of eyes on it.
We play up on purpose.
We schedule the best teams we can find. A close loss to a better team teaches more than an easy win.
Hard on the standard, never on the kid.
Corrections are private. Running is conditioning, never punishment. Arms are on a real Pitch Smart rest schedule, written down and followed. No boy here plays scared of a mistake, because a kid who is afraid stops taking the chances that make him better.
What you get
The part most teams do not do.
You can watch him get better.
Game by game, his line against the team average and the league average, kept season over season. Assessed in January and again in March, so the work has a number on it.
You get all of it on your phone.
The schedule and the field. His stats. Where every team in the league actually ranks. The forecast and whether the game is on. A scouting report on every team we play, their hitters and their arms, written before the game rather than worked out in the third inning.
There is a photographer at the games and every payment is in writing. Most of it is public, so you can go and look before you decide anything. Open the stats →
