our history
2005
the begining
Motivated to build a top performing baseball team for his son, John Owens started the Charlotte Hurricanes.
2010 – As demand to join the Charlotte Hurricane’s winning program grew, Owens saw an opportunity to create a baseball academy in the Charlotte area. Showcase Baseball Academy opened its doors with some of the region’s premier instructors. Jake Robbins, a professional player of 14 years, joined as President.
2017
With his son having graduated from the program, Owens sought a suitable buyer for the academy who would carry on its successful tradition. Will Simmons, a successful entrepreneur motivated to provide his son with an elite baseball experience, purchased the academy from Owens.
2018
Simmons was inspired with a vision far greater than SBA’s current reach. Achieving that vision required additional capabilities, so Simmons invited Jake Robbins, Travis Thompson and Matt McCammon to join as owners, each bringing complimentary talents to the organization. The expanded team published new mission, vision and value statements reflecting a much loftier expectation for the academy. Simultaneously, the facility was expanded and remodeled with new offices, retail storefront, parents’ lounge, cages, pitching tunnels, turf and lighting.
We are incredibly proud of our history but believe our best days are ahead. Welcome to The Show!
