Why Diamond Derby
A Way Back Into Baseball for Everyone.
Baseball creates fans for life, but eventually most people lose an easy way to participate.
I played baseball for as long as I can remember, from tee ball all the way through high school. But like so many others, baseball eventually became something I watched instead of something I played.
The space, equipment, time, and organization required to play became too complicated. Now it's been over nine years since I've taken a round of batting practice.
I kept coming back to two questions: Why does playing baseball require so many other people, schedules, and dependencies? Why can’t I just swing on my own terms?
Those questions became Baseball Lite: fewer barriers between people and the feeling that made them love baseball in the first place.
