About Us
Bases Loaded was created by former Major League Pitcher Jim Neidlinger in 2010 after working at several area fitness facilities for 17 years. Jim’s vision was to create a facility where area students could improve their skills in a strictly baseball/softball-only facility. Over the last 10 years, Bases Loaded has grown exponentially, and the success of their students is a testament to the hard work of the players and vast knowledge of the instructors.
In 2017, Bases Loaded was recognized as one of the top 25 training facilities in the US, and just recently in 2019 received a Best of Williston business award.
The way baseball and softball players train has changed dramatically over the years and Bases Loaded instructors have grown and adapted, including the implementation of our Rapsodo hitting and pitching system, while always keeping the basic fundamentals that every player needs to be successful. In the past 5 years, Bases Loaded has produced 6 Gatorade Players of the Year between baseball and softball. In 2019 alone, not only did Bases Loaded have both softball and baseball Gatorade Player of the Year, but had more than 30 players who were on teams competing for a State Championship.
In 2017, Bases Loaded started their premier travel baseball organization, the Bases Loaded Bulldogs, which has grown from 3 teams in 2017 to 7 in 2021 and competes in the top tournaments in New England.
Bases Loaded has continued to produce top level players because our instructors and coaches not only have competed at high levels, whether it be college or professionally, but we continually work as a cohesive group to share our knowledge to make every student better.
"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence"
