The date of this year’s Under Armour All-America Game coincides with a special date in Baseball Factory history. On July 22nd, 1994, the Baseball Factory was founded by CEO, Steve Sclafani, and joined shortly thereafter by President, Rob Naddelman. Together, they shared a dream and goal of helping each and every student-athlete reach their highest potential in the game of baseball and life. Through Steve and Rob’s shared passion in giving every athlete a chance to succeed, beginning with educating athletes on the field with how to always try their best, overcome their adversities, and to better themselves through education, this standard set, quickly defined the company’s motto “Factory Way.”
