A couple of dads, looking for a place they can take their kids to hit some baseballs and have fun. Dads, dreaming about taking baseball and softball to a new level in Central Illinois. This is how the idea for @BAT was born. As dads and coaches, we wanted a place that was easily accessible anytime of the day, professional looking, clean, state-of-the-art and fun for kids and parents. We envisioned a place that provided entertainment and the opportunity for athletes to develop their skills to the highest level. We pictured hitting leagues, skills camps, instructors, birthday parties, and unlimited opportunity for use by members.
