“They’ve always been a program that’s shown that they can win with good coaches and awesome players.”

Garrett HarkerBulls player

“As soon as I joined the Bulls, I knew I was a part of a family. I love it! All of the coaches have helped teach me skills to use both on and off the field, connect me with colleges and different recruiting opportunities and just have made overall a better person.”

Kade LanghorstBulls Player

“It’s a commitment, but we’ve really enjoyed our time with the Bulls. The Bulls do a great job with recruiting and helping get the kids in place for opportunities at the next level.”

Kathy MartensBulls parent

“The Indiana Bulls have a great program. They send so many guys into college baseball every year. They have that system set up to get exposure – if players perform, they are going to be seen.”

Joe ThatcherBulls alumnus, 9-year MLB veteran (Padres, Diamondback, Angels, Astros), owner of Pro X Athlete Development

“I want to play college baseball and the Bulls coaches can push you more. They have higher-caliber expectations. The coaches can give you better tips on how to become a better player and improve all around, not just as a player, but as a person.”

Ahmaad DuffBulls player

“The prestige of the organization was a big thing for us. My son has some college aspirations, so we wanted to be sure he was getting the best possibility to make that happen. The Bulls are certainly more structured and tailored than our previous program.”

Brian FineBulls parent

“I wouldn’t have my kids play for any other organization. That’s how much trust we have in the Bulls and their process. They do everything right. From parent meetings to outfitting the kids and high-level instruction, parents can just trust the process. This program has the most respect from college coaches and recruiters. Putting players in the big leagues and in the minor leagues — it’s hard to duplicate that. Other organizations can do it, but they don’t have as long of a list as the Bulls have.”

“We definitely feel like this organization is a great place for my son to get better at the game. They have the coaching, the connections, the name recognition and a lot of people are willing to help get you to the next level. This is a great organization if you want to play college baseball.”

Sohna DuffBulls parent

“I’ve been proudly playing for the Bulls for 4 years now. I have gotten so much better overall as a player and am thankful for the great teammates and coaches that all help pick each other up and make each other better.”

Collin OsenbaughBulls Player

“Up in Northern Indiana, we don’t have a lot of teams getting into the right tournaments for kids who want to play at the next level to be seen. That’s what brought us to Indianapolis and how we found the Bulls. They’re the premier organization to be with. The scouts come to them at tournaments.”

Shane MartensBulls parent

“When you play for the Indiana Bulls, college coaches and scouts already respect you more because of the Bulls’ history and success. I give a log of credit to the Bulls for helping me get the opportunity to play at Stanford, as they saw me play with the Bulls three or four times.”

Drew StorenBulls alumnus, 8-year MLB veteran (Nationals, Blue Jays, Mariners, Reds)

“I love being a part of a team of the best players and overall great people from around the Midwest. Playing for the Bulls has really helped me develop my skills on the field and in my specific position, but it has also just made me a better person in general.”

Kyuss GargattBulls Player

“I’ve been coaching for the Bulls since the 1990’s. Our mission has always been to help kids get to the next level and give these boys in Indiana opportunities that we might not have had growing up. We win because we get great players and have really good coaches but at the end of the day, our goal is to help develop these players so they can better pursue their dreams and we do everything we can to provide those opportunities. I’m proud to be a part of the Indiana Bulls — a first class organization that does things the right way.”

Tony CookerlyBulls Coach

“Everybody knows the Bulls are where you want to be. My sons receive really good coaching and are challenged at different positions. The coaches, facilities and everything has been amazing. With our local team in Bedford, we played in places before where it didn’t look like they’d mowed for a month. At these fields, you couldn’t ask for a better place to play. If my boys ever want to play higher than high school, this is a great introduction to what they’ll have to do to get there.”

Nick GatesBulls parent

“They’re the cream of the crop for Indiana baseball. All the facilities you get to use are so cool. You have one of the biggest and nicest facilities in the country here.”

Brody FineBulls player

“Bulls tryouts are flooded with every high school across Indiana. Everybody knows it’s a competitive, great organization to be a part of. We put the best players out there, win games and get guys into college baseball and beyond.”

Glen CollierBulls coach

“When your son joins the Bulls, he’s joining a team that helps develop fundamentals in a winning organization that has a reputation in not only Indiana, but in the Midwest and throughout the entire country and provides the resources to make playing in college a much greater opportunity. You want to give your kid the best opportunity to develop the skills they need, and the Bulls organization does that.”

Robert PatchettBulls Coach

“We win games because we’re talented and we try to make players better, but ultimately when we come together at the end of the year, our focus isn’t ‘What was your record?’ It’s ‘Who’s going on to play in college? Who isn’t? How can we help them get there and, basically, achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams?’”

Tony CookerlyBulls coach

“There are a lot of things that make this program special. Not only the community of players, but the history of the organization. There aren’t many organizations around the country that have the history we have since the early 1990s with all the professional players and the amount of Division I prospects that have come out of here. The consistency year in and year out with our program is second to none.”
