BPA Baseball

Headquartered in Orange County, CA with teams in South OC- San Juan Capistrano/Laguna Niguel, North OC-Tustin/Irvine, Inland Empire- Rancho Cucamonga, San Diego- Carlsbad, Sacramento, Arizona, Florida, & Mississippi. The BPA club travel baseball team program is offered for ages 7-18 and designed to develop and mold athletes for college baseball. The high school teams will attend various college showcase events such as Wilson Premier, USA Baseball, and various private workouts across the country in front of various Division-1, D2, & D3 collegiate baseball programs across the USA. In some cases, some players will get drafted professionally right out of high school and in the MLB 2019 Draft, BPA had 6 players drafted by Major League Baseball.

BPA was founded on the premise of providing an opportunity of top instruction, for players that have a desire to play the game beyond a recreational level. Our purpose is to ensure players learn to play the game the right way and compete at the highest level. We aspire to positively influence a player’s next-level opportunity by providing them with the knowledge and skills required to play the game to the maximum of their potential.

Seeing someone miss an opportunity in their life, especially when its something they have so much passion and desire to be great at, in our eyes, is a travesty. Preventing this from happening to our players, and continuing to push of program alumni, beyond  where they ever could of dreamed of playing is why we do what we do.

The BPA Way

Through high-paced and intense practices, we focus on the physical and mental details of the game, with an emphasis on accountability. Optimal learning environments occurs when one is placed out of their comfort zone, and operating at the edge of their ability. Our highest priority is to at all times create an environment of care, transparency and concentrated discomfort, to make sure a player has the opportunity to maximize their potential.

We believe a coach’s duty is to prepare their players to not only be successful at their current level, but advance them to the next level in a way for them to thrive. We must develop genuine relationships, so we may be an ongoing resource as our players move through their playing career, and excel beyond high school.

Big West BPA Baseball is looking for dedicated baseball players looking to take their game to the next level in baseball development! Now merged with BPA,  the Big West Family consists of all the same quality coaches & teams, plus we have upgraded our internal training and development infrastructure acquiring our own state-of-the art indoor training facility located here in South OC! Plus, we’ve added some veteran ex-professional baseball coaches to our coaching staff making our organization a quality baseball development group.

  • Members train at our own, private indoor training facility located right here in our backyard of South OC.
  • Speed, Strength, Agility, & Conditioning Programs are part of our training curriculum

What Separates Us from Everyone Else?   

Justifying Substantial Value- These are all things to consider when you look at what you pay, and the value you get with us, but more importantly- is your son getting better at baseball and getting prepared for high school or college baseball?
  • You get an unlimited hitting membership at our facility and you can hit whenever you want
  • Members save up to 40% on facility use costs.
  • Every week, our players attend a speed, strength, & conditioning class in addition to baseball training.
  • BPA is proven youth program that has been around for over a decade in Orange County. With that has come tremendous success from State championships, to All American & USA Baseball selections at ages 8U-17U. We can confidently say that no club in the area offers what we offer at the youth level.
  •  Every Year we have youth players ages 9-12 participating in National All American programs and played events in Florida, South Carolina, Texas, & Georgia, and Nevada representing the Western Region, and playing alongside the "elite of the elite" in their age class meeting new friends and families from all over the Western United States.
  • BPA is hands down one of the most successful college placement programs  in the country and is only 1 of 20 Wilson Premiere Organizations. There are only 3 in the California and none in Orange County other than BPA.
  • Last year BPA put over 30 athletes in NCAAA Division 1 college baseball programs alone and 5 were drafted professionally.
  • BPA has an extensive college recruiting network with direct access to the coaches & recruiters and over 10 years of proven success placing kids in college.
  • Your son will have the opportunity to mix in with other BPA teams (San Diego, Sacramento, etc)- meet new friends, gain new experiences, etc.
Other things to keep in mind when comparing us to other clubs:
  • Do they have their own training facility?
  • Do they have a strong recruiting platform that will continue to bring in quality talent that will surround & push your son to get better? Think about how you found us? Do you see any other clubs doing what we do to to build & grow?
  • Do they offer additional training such as speed, strength, agility, etc.
  • Do they compete against as good or better than them? You only get better playing against the best!
