Jet Box Baseball Club (JBBC) was started by taking our passion for the game of baseball and the successful legacy of Jim Corte's Jet Box Baseball amateur adult team (founded in 1969) to help kids in youth baseball maximize their potential. With an established network of current & former professional & amateur players available for assistance, we believe JBBC utilizes an effective system for maximizing talent and the understanding of what is ultimately necessary for achieving entry into Major League Baseball.
To us, baseball represents the perfect combination of physical and mental skills. JBBC has the experience and knowledge to create the tools necessary for kids to excel at all aspects of this combination: fielding/throwing, hitting, base running, pitching, and game management.
As president, I strive to achieve three main goals for JBBC:
- Exist as a premiere youth baseball organization in Southeastern Michigan
- Organize and maintain federation baseball teams at all youth age levels 8U through 18U
- Become part of the preferred roadmap to high school & college baseball programs.
Thank you for considering the merits & services of JBBC. I can assure you that we will always do our best to utilize the proper tools & techniques to maximize our players and students talents.
