2 Decades ago

Youman Wilder noticed that a alarming number of talented baseball players from the communities of Harlem and the South Bronx were going unnoticed.

​

Despite great talent they were not reaching their full potential due to constraints out of their control.

​

Harlem Hitting Academy was built to reverse this effect.

​

Harlem Hitting Academy was made to give youth from underprivileged communities the opportunity to get higher education and play sports at the same time.
