We are so excited to be partnering with Frederick Douglass and supporting their players in this venture!! Our mission has always been about the kids and giving back. This will help all players at all levels!!
Thank you FDHS for allowing us to make a difference!!
Building something special here on The Farm!!
We will be one of only three (high school & collegiate) programs in Kentucky with this technology. This will allow us to take our player development to the next level and will also help us get our players recruited by collegiate coaches.
From every batting practice and bullpen to gameday, we will have access to endless data that will drive how we can best help our players improve and reach their goals.
Excited to share that we have officially partnered with @CBC_KY @ccbl_of_ky to bring SmartPark to our home.
Always a great day to be a Bronco!!! #stampede🐎

Whitaker keeps quiet + Atheltic actions in the box w/ direct & level path.
Keeps sturdy lower half w/ raw strength.

Excellent brief start for the physical + athletic two-way this morning, getting ahead with the FB pairing nicely with a late breaking SL with sweep. More to come and a definite ‘28 N2K✅

For all of the volunteers that I suckered into helping make this vision become reality…. Thank you!!!
If you are given something not up to standard, fix it yourself. A great baseball movie once said… “Build it and they will come.”
Build it, we shall. #stampede🐎
🔥🔥LOCKER ROOM UPDATE🔥🔥
Beginning in August, this project is the result of hard-work with plenty of blood, sweat, and some tears along the way.
From re-claimed lockers in a Uhaul from Oldham County to a brand new again feeling, we always strive to give our boys the best. Even when we have to do it ourselves.
Absolutely no telling how many hours this project took… pressure washing, sanding, painting, and installing 24 lockers with new banners, historical records, couches, player nameplates, and tables was no small feat.
But giving the boys a place they can be proud of….. WORTH IT ALL !!!
Thank you to @SOHSDragons for the lockers for this project! Thank you to the many volunteers that helped make this possible. Thank you to @Mints2u29 for filming our tranformation! Thank you to @FDHSATHLETICS for the support with this project!
Before Pictures & After Videos highlight our much needed improvements. #stampede🐎
