History
Established in 2016.
Hot Corner Baseball Academy was founded in 2016 by our Founder and current CEO, Ron Bernick. In 2018, we founded Hot Corner Performance Center to aid in the Human Performance and Fitness Development of our athletes. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Ron Bernick and current COO, Sam Cumbo partnered on a synergistic project to merge the 2 companies into Hot Corner Athletics.
Since the merger, we have been able to speed up the developmental training process by aiding athletes in specialized programs that are tailored to their needs as an athlete. Since 2016, we have trained over 6,000 different athletes where 500+ have played at the collegiate level and we have trained over 100+ MLB Draft Picks, including 2021 1st Round Pick, Joe Mack, out of Williamsville, NY. We plan to expand our reach nationally by intentionally opening training complexes, like our own, to develop athletes all over the country.
