About D-Bat Academies
D-BAT was founded in 1998. D-BAT opened its original location in a small facility in North Dallas with 6 employees.
D-BAT Academies feature an exceptionally well-lit, indoor climate-controlled facility,with an environment that invites parents to be a part of their ballplayer’s development along with a top notch pro shop to provide all your equipment needs.
D-BAT began franchising operations in 2008 and today is the Largest network of training facilities in the country. Our current staff is over 300 strong and we are still considered the premier facility in the country. This is due in large part to the innovative way that D-BAT has connected the player and parent with coaches and facilities to better the game.
D-BAT is now moving to expanding its prestigious academies to reach even more players and enhance the baseball and softball experience for players at all levels. We never stop innovating and enhancing our methods to make players better.
