The Turkish Baseball Academy’s (TBA) status as a Baseball Club was approved on the 25th of January 2008. They are now officially the first Baseball Club in Turkey.
General Manager Alper BOZKURT, who is a former player in the German Baseball-Bundesliga, leads the Academy. He is also the head coach of the Turkish National Team. The American Stephen SPANJER assists him. Other instructors are former or current players in the German Bundesliga Janusz RADICKE, Ulli WERMUTH, Benjamin HIERONIMI, Manuel MOELLER and Tolga MERCAN.
The concept of the TBA is to develop Baseball and Softball within Turkey. They have hired professional coaches from all over the world to educate both players and coaches at a high level. Through Camps and Clinics they offer an instructional program at a very high level to insure that players and coaches who attend the courses become better in their profession. At the same time the scout players from all over Turkey as possible prospects for our Academy Elite Team. This group of youngsters (Age 10-12 and 13-15) represents the organization at tournaments outside of Turkey.
There are currently several schools and colleges in Turkey supported by the TBA, which have Baseball and Softball programs. They are located in Istanbul and Eskisehir.
