Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit mentoring organization that strives to enrich the lives of youth in the Greater Pittsburgh area via the game of baseball. Our goal is to remove barriers to entry while increasing diversity, equity & inclusion in the game to create positive outcomes on the field, in the community, and in life. We serve student-athletes from a variety of backgrounds, neighborhoods, and income levels. While Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is open for all, we maintain an intent focus on accessibility and delivery for underserved and underrepresented youth. Pittsburgh Hardball Academy provides year-round academic and social enrichment programming fortified by focused college advisement & recruiting services. Furthermore, our student-athletes receive consistent specialized training and experience top competition while participating on our high-level travel teams. Since the organization's inception in 2020, over 20 graduating seniors have accepted scholarships to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.
