The Yorkville Travel baseball program provides our players with the best baseball experience around! We believe in developing skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Our goal is to put the best team possible on the field, while teaching our players to play the game the right way. We do this through:
Coaching: All of our teams are provided with two professional coaches to ensure that we create a positive and effective learning environment for our players.
Training: Preparation is the key to success here at Yorkville. Each team meets for a weeknight “Swing Out” session at the Yorkville Baseball Academy, as well as an outdoor team practice on the weekends. During the winter off-season, teams will continue to meet to train and hone their skills and maintain camaraderie.
Competition: The Eagles compete against the best competition in New York during our fall and spring seasons, and we go up against the best teams on the East Coast during our holiday weekend tournaments.

Our baseball coaches
Coach Matt Mullin was first introduced to baseball in Yorkville's very own rec league! After following that with extensive travel ball, he eventually was recruited by, and pitched for Manhattanville College.
Since then, coach Matt has had the privilege of coaching NYC baseball for nearly a decade. His favorite memories from his coaching years include coaching for his old high school (St.John’s Prep.) as well as being featured in one of MLB’s Autism Awareness videos. He is now proud to run the league that sparked his own passion for the game!
John Rodriguez attended Brandeis High School in Manhattan and is a former professional infielder whose career took him through the Yankees, Indians, Cardinals, Rays, Mets, and independent leagues. After eight seasons in the Yankees farm system, he joined Cleveland in 2005 and was traded midseason to St. Louis. His .342 average with 17 home runs in 34 games at Triple-A Memphis earned him a Major League call-up, and he helped the Cardinals win the 2006 World Series.
Following stints in Tampa Bay, New York, and the American Association, he transitioned into coaching. John is the Head Hitting Instructor at the Yorkville Baseball Academy where he preaches The Art of Hand Path to his students. Known for his upbeat personality, John loves working with young athletes, making practice fun while helping each player sharpen their skills and build confidence.
