"What Mike has learned at Team Fastball helped him get recruited and earn a spot on Butler's baseball team. The key difference between playing for Team Fastball versus other travel teams is that the coaches at Team Fastball work on the skills and attitude that makes one a better baseball player. It is not just about winning a game."
"Before coming to Fastball USA, I was a freshman throwing 72mph. As a kid I was taught to throw with good mechanics and never to just let it fly. In about 2 years, I have gained 14 mph on my fastball because of the great training. I would definitely recommend Fastball USA to anyone who wants to work hard and has goal of playing at the next level. It is a great way to specifically train for baseball and improve your game in the right way."
Ethan started at Fastball USA at Age 13. He trained and played for Team Fastball and became our first 200MPH Athlete (Exit Velocity of 101MPH and top throwing velocity of 101 mph).
Ryan Loutos as a freshman was throwing 72mph. By his senior year at Barrington High School he was throwing 90mph. He was one of the most dominating high school pitchers in the state of Illinois. Ryan was honored before the White Sox game for his All State Honors and had a tremendous freshman year in college. Ryan will be playing at Washington University in St.Louis one of top academic schools in the nation.
Despite battling epilepsy, Joey Hanley inspired us and demonstrated tremendous work ethic, belief, and the ability to overcome many obstacles in his career. He is currently playing college baseball in California. In this picture he set his personal record of 91mph. Joey is a walking inspiration to us all.
Trained at Fastball USA since he was 10 years old. He was cut from various travel teams growing up ... yet he set our all-time academy exit speed record at 106MPH! Now playing baseball at Missouri State!
Congrats to Nick Juaire on his committment to play at the University of Notre Dame Next Year. Hard work pays off!
