ANAHEIM, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ZT Prospects Academy, a new indoor youth baseball training facility owned and operated by ZT Baseball, held a grand opening to celebrate its first youth baseball program with 400 guests in attendance. ZT Baseball’s first facility in California, the location uniquely offers an on-site homeschooling program to maximize the education and training capabilities of every student-athlete.
The state-of-the-art 9,700 square foot facility (1580 S Lewis St, Anaheim, CA, 92805) is a premier youth baseball practice in California. Along with turf areas for specialized practice and five batting cages with retractable nets, the ZT Prospects Academy will offer the latest technology, including HitTrax and Rapsodo for accurate batting return, as well as Hack Attack pitchers.
The on-site gym offers elite equipment, and one-on-one coaching access is available in addition to daily and weekly training camps. ZT Prospects Academy has hired head coach Jeysen Delgado to lead the program.
“Our team is thrilled with the pace of expansion at ZT Baseball, opening our first youth baseball training facility outside of Texas,” said Taseer Badar, CEO of ZT Corporate and Founder of ZT Baseball. “It was important for ZT Prospects Academy to provide an unparalleled experience for the complete student athlete. Between the athletic training capabilities and the exceptional educational program, we are confident that this location will be key in developing the next generation of California State prospects.
The on-site homeschooling program will take a two-pronged approach:
-
The facility has partnered with a local charter school, where students attend classes in the morning and then transfer to the facility for baseball, strength and agility training in the afternoon.
-
In collaboration with specific providers, the institution will offer online training where student-athletes can choose to study at the institution with an on-site support teacher or at home via a virtual teacher. All students have 24/7 access to a tutor through ZT Prospects Academy.
“ZT Baseball continues to produce some of the most successful young baseball prospects in the United States,” said Mohsin Malik, President of ZT Baseball. “ZT Prospects Academy pushes the boundaries of what is possible, enabling all players to thrive and reach their highest potential.”
“Most importantly, our dedicated staff truly invest in each player, ensuring they learn the game the right way while developing into handsome young men with a passion for the sport,” said Carlos Avila, Director of operations at the ZT Prospects Academy.
Although students are on campus this semester, the full application process for ZT Prospect Academy’s homeschooling program will launch in January 2023, with details to be announced in Fall 2022.
Following the acquisition of Baseball Nation in June 2022 and the opening of the Elite Academy in Houston in 2021, ZT Corporate and ZT Baseball are on a high performance path as several teams have won national championships, with players selected for the prestigious Perfect Game Select Baseball Festival.
