Team BEAST is excited to announce our organizational expansion to Northeastern Pennsylvania with teams forming later this summer.  Team BEAST will partner with Country Mile Sports, one of the leading baseball training organizations in the region.  Team BEAST Pennsylvania will run under the direction of Kevin Transue, founder of Country Mile and a veteran baseball instructor.  Tryouts will be conducted throughout the summer for team play in Fall 2020.  “We are thrilled to be partnering with Country Mile Sports to bring our organization to a wider population of players”, said Pete Kritikos, Head of Baseball Operations for Team BEAST, who will also oversee the Pennsylvania teams.  “For several years we’ve had top level talent from the Pocono area express interest in Team BEAST and a select group play for our NY based teams.  With the growing pool of talent that Kevin has been developing through his individual and group instruction it was a natural decision for us to partner to bring the full team experience closer to the area.” 

Team BEAST Pennsylvania teams, like the existing New York based teams, will benefit from top level instruction, top regional and elite National tournaments such as Perfect Game Championships, and for high school age players, in-depth college advisory.  Prospective players ages 8U-17U can submit applications for upcoming tryouts here.
