〉ALL TEAMS COACHED BY FORMER PRO BALLPLAYERS

Every APBPA Travel Team in our Nationwide Network of teams will be coached by one or more of the APBPA’s former Professional Ballplayer members and receive instruction from athletes who know what it takes to get to the professional level.

〉PLAYER REPRESENTATION WITH MLB AGENTS/advisors
  • The APBPA maintains relationships with Top Agents/Advisors throughout the MLB. If, and when, your athlete is ready to sign a big league contract, no one will know your athlete better than we do. As such, our agents/advisors will be ready to take your athlete through the negotiation and signing process.
