About us
OUR STORY
T21 was created as a result of Michael and Tyson’s passion for baseball alongside a burning desire to foster a love for the game in the young players of today.
The game has given so much to us and our lives, and we want nothing more than to give back tenfold.
We choose to do so by passing on our knowledge and experience to the next generation of baseball players, as well as creating a motivated community that welcomes all!”
T21’s biggest asset is the incredibly talented and experienced team of athletes and coaches that we have had the pleasure of building. Each and every member has been heavily vetted and strategically selected to elevate our well-rounded group of baseball pros. Bottom line – we know baseball.
MISSION
Our mission is to combine high-level professional baseball coaching and athlete development with a sense of community, support and inclusiveness. We are here to help young athletes build confidence, strive for excellence, and achieve success.
