The Hornets are a competitive baseball organization centered around a holistic approach to player development. We utilize Hit Factory staff of former college baseball players, current college players, and high school coaches to develop strong fundamentals with the goal to compete at a high level in tournament baseball.

Our players have 24/7 access to the Hit Factory indoor facility, 5 (1-hour) private 1-on-1 lessons, fall and winter camps, uniforms (2 uniforms, batting helmets), tournament fees, and more. 

No, we are open to athletes from Emporia and the surrounding areas. 

Hornet teams are usually made up of 10-11 players to ensure maximum playing time. 

Each player gets 5 private (one-hour) 1-on-1 lessons with Hit Factory staff. This can be pitching, hitting, fielding, or position specific. 

Some of our teams play in league and tournaments both. Some of our teams only play tournaments to maximize practice time during the week for development. Tournaments are usually played in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Manhattan, or Salina. League games are typically played in Topeka at SCABA.
