The off-season vision for the @uspbl is coming into focus.
The new turf is nearing completion. Our @AWRE_Sports camera system is moving through project development. And our new USPBL data dashboard—built to better market our players to @MLB organizations—is officially complete.
Most importantly, we’re aligning our baseball staff to execute the vision.
And on the horizon for 2026: the planned USPBL Development Academy. More information will be coming soon. @USPBLdevelop

Big News from the USPBL! We’re taking player development to the next level with @AWRE_Sports, a cutting-edge video capture platform that allows us to record, analyze, and share every pitch, swing, and play — from practices to game days. By combining AWRE’s powerful technology with the USPBL’s player development system, we’re creating an ecosystem that helps players grow faster and gain even more visibility with MLB organizations. Every moment on the field now becomes a chance to measure progress and showcase the journey to the next level.
“AWRE Sports is perhaps the best tool in helping our players because of how the USPBL is structured... it significantly expedites our ability to tell the story of how players are improving and are ready for the next level,” said Justin Orenduff, Executive Director of Baseball Strategy & Development, USPBL

One of the greatest stretches we have ever seen from a USPBL team helped the Mammoths secure the top seed for the playoffs. Among many other great performances.
Proud of our guys this year.
The second half of the @uspbl season brought outstanding pitching performances; 11 shutouts league wide, 8 no hit bids carried into the 6th or later, and a league era of 3.78.
Over their final 20 games, the mammoths pitching staff held a 2.21 team era, 1.03 WHIP, and 11.4 K/9.

In the last month league wide - 3.98 era, average velocity up .7 mph, ~61% strikes, huge strikeout numbers.
Proud of the strides our guys are making on the mound.
From pounding the zone and missing bats to flashing elite pitch shapes, here’s a look at the performances that stood out this past weekend at the @uspbl (1/🧵).

Stayed in attack mode and built rhythm early. Cleanest outing of the summer.
