Started more than five years ago by the IMG Baseball Academy in Bradenton, Florida with only a couple dozen players, the IMG Wood Bat League (IMG WBL) has grown into two leagues (High School and 14U), with 200-plus players from 33 states and seven countries in the last two summers. The premise? Give players the chance to advance their game and become the total athlete through competition, technical training, and strength and speed, mental, nutrition, and vision programs.
