"From Zero Hits to an All-Star: Three years ago, when my son Trenton was a 7 year old in Minor League, he had zero hits the entire season. One of the other 7 year old boys was really hitting the ball well, and I heard his mother mention that he had received a hitting lesson at Extra Innings. Later that summer, we enrolled our son in a baseball camp that was run by another local professional baseball organization. The camp was a huge disappointment. It was poorly organized, poorly managed, and did not fulfill the expectations that were advertised. Some of the parents at that camp told me how much better the camps at Extra Innings are, run by Matt Johnson. We decided to give Extra Innings a try, and joined that winter. We signed up for the March Hitting clinic and the April Vacation Baseball Clinic. I was extremely impressed with Matt and the other instructors at these clinics....they were so good at working with the kids. The instruction was top-notch.

"My son D.J. is a very committed baseball player! He received a membership to Extra Innings-Hagerstown and loves it! This facility has everything a baseball or softball player would want or need to help improve their skills. The pitching clinics and batting cages have benefited my son greatly. Everyone from the owners, to the coaches and other staff members are very professional, knowledgeable and treat you like family. Washington County is very fortunate to have a facility like Extra Innings. Thank you Extra Innings!!!"

"Extra Innings-Hagerstown, a year round facility is the greatest idea to hit the Hagers town/Tri- State area. Working out and training year round has been the missing element in the development of Baseball/Softball hopefuls in the area. I recommend the private lessons and clinics to all baseball enthusiasts. Your staff is courteous, reliable and knowledgeable and the trainers are on top of their game. In just a few weeks the results were apparent so imagine the long term effects."

"My son, Nick wanted to join Extra Innings to keep his hands on the ball after playing fall ball. We have been extremely satisfied with the knowledge and individualized professional instruction received at the facility. The staff is very friendly and encouraging. The facility has everything needed to improve a players skills’ with batting cages and tunnels that are prefect for hitting and pitching practices. The private lessons have been an added bonus for my son and they have really boosted his self esteem through all the positive encouragement. He enjoys working one on one with Matt Johnson, who has taught him drills he can use to better himself as a baseball player. He also participated in a pitching clinic and valued the techniques taught. The staff at Extra Innings is wonderful and we look forward to going nightly! "

"We have been taking Austin to Extra Innings for 3-4 years? He has had private lessons and loves all the clinics. It totally changed his game and his confidence level. We even had a couple birthday parties there- EXCELLENT place for that btw! He is very excited to get back in there for this upcoming clinic. Thanks to Rick, and all the Extra Innings staff for all that they do!!!"

"My son will be playing his 1st yr of majors this year and he was convinced he wasnt playing ball. He said he is to little to play on their league. He was hitting balls 50 mph and grinning from ear to ear. Thanks for giving him his confidence back."
