SmartKage Begins Second Half of First Phase Launch
Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) December 22, 2015 -- As baseball players across the nation transition to indoor training for winter, Glen Arm MD becomes the newest high-tech training and recruiting location. Diamond Pros Baseball is the site of SmartSports 21st SmartKage® unit. This marks the beginning of the second half of the Company’s first phase of 40 SmartKage® units, of a scheduled national roll-out of 160 facilities.
Diamond Pro Baseball http://diamondprosbaseball.com/, which is located at 5200 Glen Arm Road in Glen Arm, is headed up by MLB Scout Alex Smith, who recently joined the Miami Marlins scouting team after more than a decade as an MLB Scouting Supervisor for the Seattle Mariners.
“Diamond Pro Baseball joins a select group of premier facilities that offer state-of-the-art off- season training,” said SmartSports co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Larry Scannell. “Alex and his staff offer the finest in professional instruction and the installation of SmartKage® enhances the facilities extensive technology training and evaluation tools.”
