First And Third

For Idaho youth teams, the Marucci Prospects pathway starts locally with First & Third Baseball Academy tryouts for 9U-16U in August 2026. Making those teams plugs players into Marucci’s national network, which includes Perfect Game gateway events, Marucci Challenge showcases, and direct college recruiting resources. It’s basically Idaho’s on-ramp to national exposure while keeping the local development culture intact.

The momentum keeps building.

Since announcing our partnership with Marucci Prospects, we've been overwhelmed by the support from our players, families, coaches, and community.

This affiliation is about creating more opportunities for athletes in North Idaho.
✅ National recruiting exposure
✅ College showcase opportunities
✅ Access to premier tournaments
✅ Proven player development resources
✅ A pathway connected to one of the most respected brands in baseball

The mission hasn't changed.

Develop great players. Develop great young men. Compete at the highest level.

We're proud of where we've been, but we're even more excited about where we're going.

🔥 Tryouts for 9U-16U are coming this August.
Built in Idaho. Connected to the Nation.

Amazing weekend for the boys — and the moms — at First and Third! ⚾️💐
The 10s, 13s, and 14s all battled at the Top Tier Bombs for Moms tournament, and man… did we have some BOMBS. From walk-offs to 1st place medals, the boys left it all on the field playing for the moms this weekend.
Huge cheers to all the baseball moms in our community. The early mornings, long weekends, road trips, laundry piles, snacks, support, and unconditional love never go unnoticed. Without you… we’d honestly be a complete mess! 😂❤️
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there. Thank you for everything you do for these boys and this baseball family.
