| The Bakersfield Baseball Academy began in September 1999. Initially individual and team lessons were the focus. However, with the growth of travel teams Bobby Maitia saw a need to form well coached scout teams as a tool to help the motivated players obtain scholarship money. Over the past four springs, summers, and falls the wins have steadily grown. Better talent is coming in along with a better understanding of the fundamentals. In the summer all age groups 13's, 14’s, 15's, 16’s, 17's and 18’s focus on the 10 day USABF World Series in San Diego. Improvement was significant in 2005 as the 14's placed third and the 18’s placed second in this national tournament. Bobby Maitia through BBA has successfully placed dozens of players in colleges over the past 4 years, all with scholarships. In 2007 there should be many more added to BBA’s alumni. |
