During each session the athletes will be placed in a group according to their age.  Every participant in the Cougar Hitting Clinic will receive instruction in the areas of hitting.

 

Consistently recognized as one of the nation’s elite college baseball program each year, Houston Baseball has elevated its program over the last several seasons and now remains among the Top 25 under head coach Todd Whitting.

 

2024 will mark the 14th year for Whitting at the helm and under his guidance, the Cougars have won four American Athletic Conference Championships (two tournament (2014, 2017) and three regular-season titles (2015, 2017, 2018). Houston has been awarded two NCAA Regional host bids (2015, 2017), while advancing to an NCAA Super Regional following a Regional Championship in Baton Rouge, La. in 2014.

The 2017 Draft class saw a first-round selection, a third-round selection, and a fourth-round selection, while former Cougars Austin Pruitt (2012-13), Corey Julks (2015-2017), Connor Wong (2015-2017), John King (2016-2017), and Jared Triolo (2017-2019) are excelling in the major leagues.
