The Baseball Factory Not worth the money for what you get! It's basically for people that will pay the money, not if they are talented enough to be there Internet
My son was invited to "try out" for the Under Armour National Team by The Baseball Factory. We went to the try out and was given a very well rehearsed spill about the program. They made it sound like you had to be good enough to make a spot, and that it was all about showcaseing for college.
Well low and behold... my son made it! $3500 + airfare later... it turned out the team was any kid that paid the price to go there. The team was terrible. They looked like the bad news bears. And the coaching was even worse!
If this was to "showcase" an athlete for college scouts... it did just the opposite!!! Don't fall for the hipe! Even if your son is an outstanding player, he may be playing with some rich kid wantabe's!
Disgruntled parent!

As the
President of Baseball Factory I can assure you that we take our customer
service and satisfaction very seriously.
We have close to 40 full time employees that are very dedicated to our
mission to help high school baseball players and their parents through the
college recruiting process. We work with
thousands of players each year, and although we have many, many satisfied
families ((((Redacted))) we never like to hear that
a family feels that they did not get the experience they hoped for.
1.
it turned out the team was any kid that paid
the price to go there I can assure you that is not the way we select players
for our national teams. Every player
that is selected to a national team has to try out and qualify. We have spent 15+ years building an elaborate
scouting and evaluation scale that is utilized extensively by college
coaches. In fact, in 2010, at least one
Baseball Factory participant appears on 97% of NCAA I college baseball
programs.
I am sorry you felt that you did not have a valuable experience, and I would encourage you to contact me at the Baseball Factory to discuss it further. I can be reached at 800-641-4487. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss these points together, and try to figure out a way we could help your son with his future development and pursuit of college baseball.
