The Yard Baseball Academy is the Northwest's complete baseball training
facility. Our goal is to help every athlete become the best ballplayer
they can be mechanically, physically, and mentally. Our instructors,
having competed at the college and professional levels, will give
each athlete a complete view of what it takes to advance to the
highest level. We will also give them an in-depth understanding
of how the game is played and the preparation needed to perform
in any situation.
Baseball Mastery
Baseball Mastery was born out of a quest to find good online information
about how to teach baseball skills and the desire of Ben Petrick,
a former major league baseball player to continue to contribute
to the game he loves. It is our hope that this site helps players
and coaches everywhere to improve their understanding of the game
in a way that is intuitive and straight forward.
Our audience, is any player, coach or parent, who is trying to find
quality baseball instruction and insight. We try to do that with
instruction and insight that is presented in a way that is easy
to understand and digest. Therefore, we have broken down the game
into key areas and have filmed small clips that help highlight key
fundamentals of the game. It is our belief that in most aspects
of baseball there is no one single way to make a play. We have attempted
to make efforts to explain this where it makes sense and to stick
with basic fundamentals that have proven successful over time. Ultimately,
we believe that the true factor to success is practice. Thus our
motto has become, Watch, learn, practice and master. Time spent
working hard on proper form and function will ultimtely be what
provides with success, we are merely here to help you on your way.

Portland Baseball Club was formed in 2008 to provide players in
the Portland metropolitan area professional baseball instruction
as well as the opportunity to play in organized and competitive
summer and fall environments.
Our philosophy is to help youth athletes by Informing, Instructing,
and Inspiring.
Informing: Our program provides coaches with the latest baseball
information which makes it easier to analyze and correct baseball
movements. Through years of baseball experience and innovative technology,
we help players achieve maximum potential through training, practices,
and competition.
Instructing: Portland Baseball Club offers professional baseball
instruction for players of all ages. Our training sessions are tailored
to each individual student to ensure players comprehend what their
bodies are doing. We teach baseball players to be athletes while
perfecting their baseball movements.
Inspiring: Our teams play the highest level of competition the
Northwest has to offer. For players to be successful in life, they
must not only be great athletes but also great citizens.
The first goal of any baseball coach or instructor is to maximize
each player's pre-disposed athletic ability while providing opportunities
for the player to learn advanced skills that will improve their
baseball talent. The second goal of any coach or instructor is to
teach players life skills through competition. Coaches and instructors
are role models for young athletes and by providing them with a
positive role model in their life, they can form lifelong relationships
with every player and family.
Our mission at Portland Baseball Club is to develop our players
into responsible young adults who excel on and off the athletic
field. We look forward to becoming a positive force in your young
adults life.
