Pride. Passion. Plainfield Baseball.
OUR CRITICAL FUNDRAISING PRIORITIES
To ensure Plainfield Baseball competes at the highest level and provides our student-athletes with the best possible development opportunities, we have identified two critical areas of need for the upcoming season.
TOP PRIORITY 1: The AWRE Advanced Training System
Bringing Elite, Technology-Driven Development to Plainfield.
The landscape of competitive baseball has shifted. Technology-driven analytics and video analysis are no longer luxuries; they are standard requirements for elite high school programs and essential for collegiate recruiting. Investing in the AWRE system ensures our players are not left behind.
Why This is Our #1 Need: This system is about more than just cameras; it’s about giving our players an objective, data-driven edge. It allows our coaching staff to diagnose mechanical issues faster and provides our athletes with the high-definition, multi-angle video assets required by college recruiters.
Your Investment Provides:
College Recruiting Assets: Providing our players with professional-grade video clips essential for evaluation at the next level.
Synchronized Multi-Angle Video: High-definition capture for precise breakdown of hitting and pitching mechanics.
Data-Driven Coaching: Moving beyond “eye-balling” to make faster, more accurate adjustments based on objective analytics.
TOP PRIORITY 2: Comprehensive Batting Cage Upgrade
Increasing Capacity, Safety, and Efficiency.
Our current outdoor cages have served us well, but the demands of a modern, multi-squad high school program have outgrown the existing infrastructure. To build a championship offense, we need a training environment that maximizes every minute of practice time.
Why We Need to Upgrade: This project is vital for increasing our training capacity and improving safety. An expanded facility means less standing around and more reps for every player in the program, from freshmen to varsity.
The Plan for the Future: We have developed a phased approach to completely revitalize our outdoor hitting facility.
Future Expansion (Pending funding): Pouring new concrete pads and constructing a second full-sized cage structure to double our hitting capacity.
Immediate Impact: Rebuilding and expanding the existing structure with premium netting and reinforced hardware, plus adding dedicated tee and soft-toss zones to improve training workflow.
