Dynamic Baseball 
Lots of talent spread throughout the program for RISE Baseball this year. This year in particular seems to be a very talented 2021 grad year group. We are excited to see this guys play over the summer and fall at Dynamic events. RISE Baseball teams seem to always have ability in all age groups and this year seems like it will be no different. Here you will get an inside peak of what playing for RISE baseball is all about, and that is getting better. Each year players that come through their program always finish up being good, developed baseballs players late in their high school career. RISE Baseball is the epitome of developing players who want to get better and the results show. Dynamic is excited and blessed to host the talent for all of our teams, including RISE Baseball
In each grad class, here are the players that seem to be making a lot of noise heading into the upcoming high school and summer season for Rise Baseball.
