PDL families, If we have friends or family that have no power or need anything.....please reach out.
Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel for the passing of April & David Arenas; we (PDL) had the amazing opportunity to have these amazing parents be a part of our organization and a part of our 12U family. Our heart aches for all those that have been affected by their tragic loss. Our deepest sympathies go out to Little David and the rest of the family. May God give you the comfort and peace that you all seek and may the soul of your loved one rest in peace.
April & David will be in our hearts and memories forever.
If you can, please help give back to their family as they lay this beautiful couple to rest.

Private or individual tryouts!!!
Still looking for a spring baseball team? Maybe looking to make the transition from Rec to select? Well we have multiple spots on all our age groups to complete rosters. Come check us out and see if you'd like to be a part of a new baseball family. Straight forward dues, full access to indoor facility in the Kyle area.
Contact us with any questions that you may have or we can set up a private tryout. Have you attended tryouts already and didn't make the other club? If you did make it, were you asked to pay a crazy amount of money or upfront cost? Feeling the pressure to commit immediately? Some of these are the result of the club valuing your money over the development of your player.
Here at PDL our focus is development of your player. When you see the development in action, you will never want to tryout for another program. No contracts needed; only that you know your player's development is foremost in our system.
We are looking for quality families and players that want to be a part of our growing and awesome program! This program is dedicated to helping your player become the best possible player and person. We value all players as people first and athletes as the added bonus.
If you are interested in joining an awesome baseball family please reach out for a private tryout/workout for the Spring 2021 season.
We will be working out players in all divisions, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U
Also, if you have a team of kids and are looking for a home or need a practice facility, let's talk!

Our Story
Our Mission:
Is to Teach players the fundamentals of baseball by providing them with a high level of instruction, the tools necessary to compete and the knowledge of the game.
Fundamentals:
Dedicated coaches that teach athletes of all ages the proper techniques in all aspects of the game. Coaches create drills that enable the athletes to repeat the proper motion, so that the athletes become more consistent player.
Attitude:
Positive attitudes are contagious and important parts of athletics focus on building desire & passion for the game.
Sportsmanship:
The backbone to all sports. Buzz Lightning Baseball emphasizes the importance of sportsmanship by teaching sportsmanship is not only a sports lesson it’s a life lesson.
Teamwork:
Teamwork is a part of everyday life. We strive on team building concepts that can be carried to the field. Our goal is to help your athlete become a more rounded team player on and off the field.
Our focus is the players…. many youth travel baseball organizations get caught up in the politics and drama that the parents create. We strive to keep the focus on the kids, remembering that this is a youth sport; the game is for the children not the adults.
Our goal as a travel baseball organization is to be different!
