TESTIMONIALS
 
 

Here a  few of the kind words you have expressed to myself, our instructors as well as the Angels family:

“There is no one better than Mike and Scott Berney. They have made my son Robert  a better ball player, but more important are setting the foundation,  in making him the best he can be for the future. Robert loves the Academy, loves being around real baseball people that have made it to the level kids dream about. Mike, Scott, Tyrone Boykin, seeing guys like Jason Esposito( Vanderbilt University) and Mike Moras (NY Mets farmhand) working out, being instructed by Mike, reinforces that what he’s telling these guys is the same as what my son is working on. Without a doubt, there is no one that can teach the mental part, the little secrets of hitting like Mike. Why? Because no one else has made it from around here. Mike, Scott, Tyrone and Dennis thank you for opening up a baseball academy that my son calls his second home. Where here as long as you are.

LATEST NEWS
 
 
2008 CT Angels players playing in college: 100% of our players who graduated are playing somewhere in college:
  • Jason Esposito  Vanderbilt
  • Kyle Nisson      Quinnipiac
  • Anthony Diana   Central CT
  • Rick Palmeri      Albertus Magnus
  • John Costello    Wetern New England

 

The Academy’s own Jason Esposito is  playing well for Vanderbilt University.

I’m very excited. It has been my dream ever since I was a little kid to play in a big time college program like Vanderbilt’s and play for a coach like Coach Corbin. I cant wait to get in and meet all of my teammates and the surrounding people of the baseball program.

How tempting was it to take the 1.5 million dollar signing bonus from the Royals and go pro?

It was tempting, but I had to put the dollar amount aside and figure out whether I wanted to go off as a 17 year old and start working (literally) or come to school, get an education, and try and be apart of a first Vanderbilt team to go to Omaha. But my family was really supportive of the fact that I need an education and my 15 year old brother actually convinced me to come to school. Which was a real shock hearing that from him. He’s been there for everything I’ve done.

Who were some of the other schools that were pursuing you?

Florida, University of North Carolina, Univ. were the 2 others who I was considering before choosing Vanderbilt.
