It's not every day we get to see the impact of what baseball can do to edify a community. The MLB Youth Academy has proven that with great leadership, integrous coaching, and passionate purpose, holistic community uplift is possible. Our FungoMan team was thoroughly impressed with the staff and young people at the MLB Urban Youth Academy on East Artesia Boulevard. A positive culture was immediately felt after stepping onto the campus. The once tough neighborhood has obviously transformed back into the vibrant and supported community it once was. The FungoMan team is proud to participate in the work of empowering future successes in Compton, CA.  Like Darrell Miller said, "It's all about making the players better."
