ABOUTWICHITA AEROS HISTORY

The Aeros began as the Expos MLB AAA team in Wichita, KS. Today we are a premier youth and high school baseball club.

The Wichita Aeros Baseball Club was established in 2015 to provide elite skilled high school athletes the opportunity to compete together on a national stage against the country’s top competition while showcasing their own abilities to all levels of college and MLB scouts and recruiters. Since then, we have expanded into youth teams as well in order to help them make the tough transition to high school. Our goal is that every Aeros member receives a college baseball scholarship to help further their education and career.

ABOUTCLUB ADVANTAGES

YEAR-ROUND FACILITIES

We have a 28,000 square foot indoor facility complete with full-size turf infield, batting cages, pitching mounds and strength/speed center.

ABOUTCORE PRINCIPLES

The foundation of the Aeros organization is based on these four principles:

HARD WORK

Through Fall, Winter and in-season workouts, evaluations, reps and continuous improvement our teams are able achieve their goals. Success is earned.

RESPECT

Showing respect for other teams, umpires, our parents, teammates and ourselves is one of the most important things taught in the Wichita Aeros. It is something that will serve well even after sports.
