B1 Ghost

The B1 Experience

Having been named the #1 Baseball Facility on Long Island for the third straight year by the Long Island Press, Batting 1.000 Baseball & Softball Academy is dedicated to providing top quality instruction and a professional workout environment for teams and the individual player. Conveniently located off of the Meadowbrook Parkway in Freeport, our climate controlled indoor training facility features professional indoor sports lighting, with six tunnels equipped with new baseball and softball Atec pitching machines along with pitching mounds.  Batting 1.000 supplies a comfortable training atmosphere for players of all ages and abilities throughout all seasons. Whether it be a little league team learning the basics, middle school players improving their fundamentals, high school players getting stronger and faster to showcase for our network of collegiate coaches or college and pro players sharpening their skills, we at Batting 1.000 are committed to helping our players achieve their goals.

Focusing on quality training, all of our instructors, who have played collegiate or professional baseball, have a natural passion for teaching the game.  Each instructor employs Batting 1.000’s specific training model of co-owner and head trainer Michael Ferriggi.  Having studied some of the top-level coach’s physical, mental and emotional philosophies and techniques, Batting 1.000 has devised a curriculum to help pass this information on to it’s players through fun, competitive and detailed drills and games.  With most of our instructors having a degree in Education combined with hours of training and observation, these role models are great teachers of baseball and life.  This is visible throughout every individual lesson, team workout, game, practice, clinic and camps.

Whether it be an individual hitting, pitching, catching or fielding lesson, a specific skill clinic, team winter training program, team in season tune-up training sessions, coaching in our travel organization’s games or practices, outdoor team practices, holiday camps or summer camps, our instructors approach each player with a professional mindset and a goal-oriented plan.  Quality over quantity is the motto in which we stand by.  While present in our facility or an an off-site event, you and your child will always feel like a valued member of our team.

We take pride in separating ourselves in not only the quality of instruction, but genuine concern and care for all players and families that train with us.  High level of instructor to player ratios in group events, experienced professional staff, detailed lesson plans, thorough evaluation of skills, overall energy, knowledge, ability to communicate, Personal Training and CPR and First Aid Certified staff are just some of the key components we offer to our players and parents.

Each of us at Batting 1.000 are looking forward to the prospect of helping you in any way possible to improve your players’ knowledge of the game and playing experience while enhancing their skills and supporting their confidence.

PRD Vendors

PRD College Office

Through acquiring so many positive relationships and partners, PRD has created an ecosystem of recruitment where our players have opportunity to gain exposure in many different regions. We set up on-campus events across the year to put our players in front of NCAA coaches and give those coaches background on each player prior to the event. The college staff reached back out to us with the interest of the players they have interested in after the event. In addition, we assist in the operation of Pipeline Showcases which creates broad exposure at two intervals in the summer.

Get on Gerry's radar today! The Director of our PRD College Office, Gerry Patrizio, is here for you. Day in and day out, he tracks all of our players across in need of collegiate navigation in the Sophomore, Junior & Senior class! With the support of each Ghost director and our PRD admins, Gerry keeps tabs on our guys and connects with each player via text to keep everyone on the same page.

In order for us to reach out to colleges via our college office, players must be part of our planning branch where they receive a SportRecruits profile under our PRD umbrella where we can see schools that view each players profile, a newsfeed of communication back and forth via player/colleges + more. Having a profile under PRD assists us in reaching out to colleges when the time is right so we can help get your player off the board! To register, follow this link: PRD's NCAA Planning Link

In addition, Gerry & our other PRD NCAA college advisors offer 1 on 1 zoom sessions with players and families for only $65 per session. Visit PRD's EZ Facility and Book a Session with one of our advisors in the NCAA office today! Player navigation and family planning is crucial in the college placement process. With the current market for sports advisors being so pricey, one of our initiatives in 2024 across PRD is to assist our players/families in not only being correctly placed, but at a fraction of the cost of other options. Feel free to text Gerry at 908-229-6103 for further details!
