What is the 2026 Summer College Program?
It’s an alternative option to summer college leagues for college players who would like to get live work in during the summer without the high cost or big commitment of a league. Current or incoming college players will compete in live ABs throughout the summer.
How does the program work?
–There are spots for 8 hitters (including 3 catchers) and 6 pitchers at each session.
–At a minimum, each pitcher will throw to every hitter (equivelent to 2 innings per session) and each hitter will face every pitcher (minimum 6 ABs per session). For quick innings, there will be more ABs to match a specific pitch count.
–For the entire program, hitters will get a minimum of 84 ABs – which is more than the average player will get in most college leagues.
–Pitchers will throw 2 innings per session or 4 per week or 28 total for the entire summer.
–Pitchers will get charted for velo range and stats.
–Hitters will have access to HitTrax, which will allow them to see the results of all of their ABs.
–There are no walks. If a hitter gets walked, the count reverts back to the previous pitch.
–These results will be sent to every player after each session. The player then has the option to send those reports to their respective college coaches.
Will college coaches be able to keep up with certain players?
Yes, absolutely and that’s part of the design. We will provide lots of social media coverage at each session for players to share with friends, family and college coaches.
For any players in the transfer portal, this can be a tremendous way to play your way into an offer from another school.

Who is the program designed for?
Current college players and incoming college freshmen are invited. If you’re a junior in college and want to get live reps in to help prepare for your senior year, you’re invited. If you’re an uncommitted Juco sophomore looking for an opportunity at a 4 year program, you’re invited. If you’re a graduating senior in high school and committed to play in college next year, you’re invited. All positions are welcome.
Where will the program take place?
All sessions will take place at 386 MVP: 731 Glades Ct Unit A Port Orange, FL US, 32127
This is an indoor facility that has everything necessary, including multiple cages, multiple bullpens, a weightroom, HitTrax and more. Centrally located just 5 minutes off I-95, MVP is a mile away from various shops and restaurants. It is the ideal location for this type of program.
When will the program take place?
There will be 14 total sessions throughout June and July.
Every Wednesday (June 3, 10, 17, 24) and Saturday (June 6, 13, 20, 27) in June.
Three Wednesdays (July 8, 15, 22) and Saturdays (July 11, 18, 25) in July.
Sessions will go from 10am – 1 pm and POs are free to leave when they’re finished throwing.
Why should a player consider the program?
Summer college league games are often rained out. That will never be an issue with this program since everything happens at an indoor facility.
Hitters: Teams in summer leagues often hit everyone in the lineup, which means some players will travel to games for one AB. In this program, every player is guaranteed a minimum number of ABs at each session. Hitters are expected to get a minimum of 84 ABs against college pitchers for the entire program.
Pitchers: A lot of players will travel to summer league games hoping to pitch and don’t end up getting into the game. With this program, every pitcher is guaranteed a minimum of two innings at each session. Pitchers will throw anywhere from 14 to 28 innings against college hitters.
What’s the cost per player?
Hitters (catchers): $250 (approximately 84 total ABs)
Hitters (non-catchers): $350 (approximately 84 total ABs)
Pitchers:
$175 for 7 sessions (approximately 14 total innings)
$350 for all 14 sessions (approximately 28 total innings)
