Team Bio[edit]
Founded in 2007 as an expansion team to the Tri-State Collegiate League, the Pittsburgh BTA are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team based in Pittsburgh, PA. Owned and operated by the Pittsburgh-based Baseball Training Acadamy, the Pittsburgh BTA are dedicated and designed to providing minor league-style competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The BTA operate under the model of a Minor League team: playing nightly in stadiums which seat thousands of fans, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment and experiencing nightly road trips between games. BTA athletes are unpaid, which gives them the opportunity to experience the the rigors of professional baseball without going pro so that they can maintain their NCAA eligibility. The Pittsburgh BTA live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
