ABOUT US
The mission of Purpose Driven Baseball is to equip and train young men not only for the sport of baseball but more importantly for life With Purpose.
Through Purpose Driven Baseball teams, camps and clinics, players will receive excellent baseball instruction from current and former college and professional players and coaches. More importantly, players will be exposed to lessons beyond the sport. In our sports addicted culture, too often the performance of the sport is projected as the ultimate goal rather than the sport being used as a tool to teach valuable life lessons. Building leaders through an emphasis on character development is our passion. We intentionally focus on teamwork, self discipline, friendship, hard work, determination, courage, patience, and dealing with disappointment and failure as we interact with players in our programs.
Purpose Driven Baseball is a division of With Purpose International. We believe that we should take meaning and purpose to sports rather than trying to obtain meaning and purpose from sports. We feel that our purpose in life is rooted in, established by and sustained through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that shapes the character needed for true leaders. We define Character as “The inward motivation to do the right thing to highest standard of behavior–(God’s Standard) in every situation”.
Testimonials
Not only have you provided our son with exceptional baseball instruction from current and former college and professional baseball players and coaches, but more importantly, you have exposed him to life lessons beyond the sport that have instilled in him what it means to have character… That is: The inward motivation to do the right thing to the highest standard of behavior, God’s standard, in every situation. Purpose Driven has also provided the training and exposure necessary for our son to achieve his dream of playing Division I college baseball.
"We have been with Purpose Driven for a little over 6 months now and have gotten more baseball instruction from better instructors, time with college coaches and a better organized program than all the other showcase teams our son has been on combined."
"The level of instruction my son is receiving from Purpose Driven is like no other. The coaches genuinely care about your child’s success. They break things down in a way they can understand. Set goals specific to them and continuing lay build on each skill. I couldn’t be happier!”
"God has blessed me more than I could ever imagine and put me in the best place I could ever ask for. I have not only been able to grow as a player, but more importantly as a person through this organization and I can’t thank Coach Jay and all of the coaching staff for all they have done for me."
Purpose Driven Baseball is dedicated to the memory of Johnnie Stott. Stott played college baseball at UNC in the late 50’s and early 60’s pitching in the college world series in ’60. He was drafted by the Minnesota Twins and played in their organization under then player/coach Jack McKeon. Those who knew Stott, saw him to be a man who had a passion for three things: God, Family and Baseball. He died suddenly of a Heart attack in 1994 and left behind family and friends who were greatly influenced by his life. Twin brothers, Jay & Ray Stott give guidance and leadership to Purpose Driven Baseball.
