What is Mass Hitmen Baseball?

Our philosophy is not only to produce successful winning teams, but develop each individual player, both mentally and physically to reach their playing potential. The right coaching staff, correct instruction, repetition, discipline, and practices are traits for a successful program and successful student-athletes.
Hitmen Baseball offers a quality opportunity for players that are motivated and focused on getting to the next level. We consider ourselves a top tier organization because of our goal to connect with each player and develop them both mentally and physically. We offer a unique style of coaching that is a combination of constant reinforcement, demonstrations, along with an enjoyable learning atmosphere. We train our players with the intent to develop their ability to work through failures, develop them to be capable of overcoming the games difficult obstacles and offering solutions to the failures they are destined to face both on and off the field.
Being that baseball is a game of failure, it is extremely important for players to be able to accept failure, and leave it behind them. A positive, confident mental focus is absolutely necessary to have success. Our goal is to instill this in EVERY player in our organization. We demand a mutual respect between our players and coaches. This opens the door for great communication and growth as a team and as individuals.
Mass Hitmen is an elite travel baseball team based in Bridgewater MA that focuses on player development on and off the field.
Our Club was started with a series of goals in mind; to provide our players with high-level instruction, to compete against top quality competition, and prepare each player for high school baseball and beyond. Hitmen Baseball promises to teach each player the fundamentals while working with each player on an individual level to improve player strengths and weaknesses.
