UMass Baseball – Fundraising Priorities (Details provided by Coach Shileikis & Coach Weir)

Locker Room Enhancements – The team spends more time in this space together than anywhere else. Upgrades to player spaces, audio/video, branding and the overall aesthetic will help foster pride, team unity and an environment that reflects the culture of UMass Baseball.

Technology - Investing in advanced player-development technology will provide critical data and metrics to help both our pitchers and our hitters. Last year, through this campaign, we were able to purchase a Trackman Ball Flight/Pitching Monitor for the program. Many of the technology pieces we use throughout the year require an annual subscription and we use fundraised dollars through the Diamond Club to offset those costs.

Team Equipment – Annual upgrades to add Hack Attack pitching machines, used for both offensive and defensive drills, as well as adding and upgrading screens, surplus baseballs, and other training tools (bands, plyos, water bags, training gloves and bats, and more).
