Robert Rodriguez, Miami Marlins assistant hitting coach, and Felix Alonso, who have an outstanding reputation for pumping out top talent for TBSA will now lend their expertise to the Team BEAST family as well, providing our Florida teams with the proper training, high end coaching, and aiding in the recruitment of high school age players.  The TBSA Patriots youth teams will continue on with their great tradition playing under the TBSA name, while giving their players the opportunity to graduate to Team BEAST Florida grad year teams once they hit high school.

 

"We are extremely excited to be partnering up with such great baseball minds but more importantly outstanding people!”, said Pete Kritikos, Head of Baseball Operations for Team BEAST, who will also oversee the Florida teams.  "Robert and Felix will be our eyes and ears on the ground and our right hand men in this expansion - we could not have asked for a team more invested in developing great players and bringing the BEAST culture to a new set of players."

Team BEAST Florida teams, like the existing New York based teams and newly announced Pennsylvania and North Carolina teams, will benefit from top level instruction and play, top regional and elite National tournaments such as Perfect Game Championships, and in-depth college advisory.  Tryouts will be held later this summer for teams forming in the fall and 2021.
