Player Development
The Mizuno Outlaws have an outstanding training program to develop the 5-Tool player. We have partnered with Crozier’s 5 Tool Baseball Academy (C5TBA) to develop the hitting, fielding, throwing velocity, speed, agility and strength of our players. The C5TBA staff, led by former MLB player Eric Crozier, boasts a professional level staff of former and current players and coaches. Additionally, our player development model includes classroom sessions of board work and film review to improve baseball acumen and IQ.
