aired; November 9, 2026 The Lancaster Stormers have opened a new indoor Player Development Center at Penn Medicine Park, giving baseball and softball players a place to train throughout the year. The facility features professional-style batting cages, regulation-style pitching mounds and dedicated space for defensive and catching drills. It also offers a slate of clinics and multi-session programs for athletes, with additional training opportunities planned through the spring and beyond. On The Spark, we’ll talk about how the center is helping young athletes develop their skills both on and off the field. We’ll also look at the coaching programs, what players can expect from the clinics and the Stormers’ plans to expand offerings with hitting leagues, tournaments, strength and conditioning, and other player development opportunities.
