Developed by Eric Crozier, a veteran of 11 professional baseball seasons, Crozier’s 5 Tool Baseball Academy (C5TBA) is an elite level training program which enhances the player’s ‘five tools’ of baseball and softball that scouts and coaches use to judge the overall skill and strengths of prospects.

C5TBA places their training focus on:

• Hitting for Power and Average
• Fielding
• Throwing Velocity
• Strength, Speed and Agility

​Eric has carefully selected his assistant coaches; all of them extremely qualified, having played college or professional baseball or softball. C5TBA is the answer for players, ages 11 and up, searching to improve every aspect of their game.  We offer large group training, small group training, teams, leagues, clinics and summer camps.​
