My son is in his second year with PBC. I can't say enough good things about Joe Taylor and the coaches he has put together. This is a year-round program with comprehensive and sport-specific offseason strength training; an excellent arm care program that put 5-7 MPH on my son's velocity last year; and systematic commitment to making the boys better players and better people. My son's understanding of the granular techniques of various baseball drills has improved exponentially since he joined PBC, and he's made enormous strides as a player. Joe is committed to doing things the right way -- he doesn't bring in outside midseason subs to supplement the roster, and while the teams are full of good players and compete very hard, the program ethos is on sustainable player development rather than winning at all costs. PBC has been a wonderful fit for my son, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the program to anyone with a baseball-loving son who is committed to being the best player he can be.

PBC has been an invaluable for our son and we are so happy that they are local to us. The camps (especially) are affordable, professional, informative and have helped our baseball player enhance his skills and knowledge, especially in the off season while making some new friends too. Thank you to all the awesome coaches and staff. We will continue bringing our son here for development. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking to help your kid in fundamentals this is a great place to learn. The cost compared to other clubs is totally comparable and even better in most cases. Reading some of the complaints on not getting back, if you listen to the message, it says text the owner. Do not call because he won’t answer when spending time on coaching your kid. I always got an answer when I texted him. Jane Doe, nothing like a guy who can’t leave his name. And by the way, your information on coaches is wrong. I went to a couple of games and Mr Doe was yelling at his kid while he was pitching. You’re a class act. If you would like to see pics of the 18 year old pitching at his high school here you go. I have a lot more pics if you would like to see them. Not only does he have experience in baseball he is also a State Champion in football, he knows how much work it takes to get to that level. He is a great man and will definitely make a difference in any kids life.

What an amazing experience this summer has been. I can’t give enough thanks for the amount of training and player development that went into this season for our son. After taking a full season off (no thanks to covid-19) the expectations and honesty were set from the start and definitely delivered. The owner Joe Taylor can’t be at every practice and every single inning of every game but he sure tries and he is 110% devoted to this program. This private club is so well run and the best decision we made to prep our son for high school tryouts in the spring. Huge thanks to Joe and the whole PBC crew!

An absolute wonderful organization. Can’t say enough positive things about quality of the coaches and all those involved in the program. There approach to coaching applies to all aspects of life not just game of baseball. It has allowed my son to blossom into a leader and flourish and grow his love and passion for the game of baseball. There are far more important things than simply wining every game played and from top to bottom they foster that kind of environment. Can’t say thank you enough to PBC keep up the amazing work.
