WELCOME TO THE ONLINE HOME OF THE HP BARRIE BAYCATS
The High Performance Barrie Baycats are proud members of the EBLO, and Baseball Ontario. The HP Baycats have a short, but successful history in player development, player success, and team Championships. Our inaugural year in 2018 with just one team, the 15u Elite Baycats. In 2019 we grew to 3 teams, 18u, 16u, and 15u. In 2024 we will field 5 teams – 18u, 17u, 16u T1, 16u T2, and 15u.
Every off-season our HP teams partner with Mind to Muscle in Barrie who have developed a strength and conditioning program specifically for our athletes, to help them get stronger, and more explosive. Our off season also includes multiple position specific and team practices weekly in our very own indoor facility “The Warehouse”. We use Rapsodo pitching and hitting data to curate player-specific development plans. Rapsodo data allows us to identify strengths to build on and weaknesses to address. In addition to Rapsodo our pitchers follow the Driveline program which helps them improve their velocity, arm care, and fill up the zone. Our HP teams also have the opportunity to travel to the USA for March break to get some work in outside prior to our season commencing in Ontario.
Our season includes multiple trips to the USA playing in elite tournaments including Perfect Game events, Pastime Tournaments, PBR Tournaments, and Bullpen events playing at the some of the top Universities in the United States in front of scouts and coaches. When we aren’t travelling across the U.S. our HP teams play against more than 30 different members of the OBA in the EBLO.
Our 15U, and 18U teams compete in the eliminations, the winning association gets to represent Ontario at the Nationals.
Our HP program runs a hosted PBR Showcase at Vintage Throne Stadium in the fall. Our program also leverages FieldLevel and helps our athletes build their profiles to maximize exposure to Colleges, and coaches. Every one of our athletes will have a Fieldlevel profile, PBR profile, and Perfect game profile.
Our goal as a program is to make our athletes both physically and mentally strong, preparing them for their next level.
