"Every story has a beginning"

 

"Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marucci was founded by two former Big Leaguers and their athletic trainer who began handcrafting bats for some of the best players in the game from their garage. Fast-forward ten years, and that dedication to quality and understanding of players' needs has turned into an All-American success story. Today, Marucci is the new Number One bat in the Big Leagues." (marrucisports.com)

 

Many well-known Major League Baseball players are known to swing Marucci bats. The latest statistic states that 40% of the players in the MLB are using Marucci bats. Albert Pujols, Jose Bautista, Chase Utley, David Ortiz, and Andrew McCutchen even donate and invest their time and resources by serving on the Marucci Player Advisory Board. Here they are able to inspire, test,  prove all Marucci products. "So, you don't have to take our word for it, but you might want to take theirs!"

 

Marucci Elite Texas is a well-known, strong, credible program, and is known to focus on the physical and mental development of young athletes. They strive for physical readiness and mental focus, as well as accountability and discipline, with an elite coaching staff.

 

D1 Nation Sports is headed in a positive direction. In just 2 years and 4 months, D1 Nation Sports has built a 20,000 square foot, state-of-the-art training facility. Through the development of young men both physically, mentally, and through the understanding that parents' most valuable commodity are their children, D1 Nation Sports takes pride in putting the athletes first and ensuring their success both on and off the field. Their mission statement states that their goal is "to develop a c omplete baseball player using a measurable approach to physical and mental skills through the application of a formal discipline curriculum that provides excellence in instruction, leadership, and facilities for families." This falls directly in line with Marucci Elite Texas and our philosophy. We are pleased to announce that we observe these qualities in D1 Nation Sports Baseball through not only TJ and Dana Garza, but also in their outstanding and dedicated staff, and committed families that all contribute to a successful program.
