The Standout Way

Standout Baseball is an organization that believes in the life lessons learned through sports participation.  Back in 1997, Kevin Batista and Josh Gernatt teamed up to form the middle infield tandem at Berry College.  The relationship they built was formed in the bond of the sweat, hard work, and determination to be the best ballplayers they could be. They learned to focus and perfect the fundamental approach and movements over chasing statistics.  As their careers came to an end, they also learned a basic truth- baseball ends for everyone.

A few years later, Kevin, having moved to Las Vegas, still had the flame burning inside to be a part of the game.  As an educator, he understood the impact he could have on young students and started a fledgling baseball training business, which soon after came to be known as Standout Baseball.  Kevin trained players from 5 years old to the professional level with a vision to teach these athletes how to be a standout baseball player, but more importantly about how to be a standout person.  

Flash forward to 2020, and that is when the wheels began to turn on a new vision for Standout and how Kevin’s teachings and programs could impact a broader audience.  Kevin moved to Atlanta and teamed up with his former college double-play partner to revolutionize the training programs and reach the masses in an exciting and affordable way.

Our mission is to help youth players achieve success in baseball and life by enabling them to be confident in what they do.  Come and see what we are all about.
