At the heart of Baseball Resource Group (BRG) is a commitment to true player development—a philosophy championed by two of its founders, Reggie Smith and Tarrik Brock. In a candid conversation, these seasoned baseball experts share their motivation for establishing BRG and the importance of fostering an instructional environment where young athletes can build critical skills, free from the pressure of constant competition.
Smith and Brock emphasize the BRG instructional league as a space that prioritizes skill-building, individual growth, and real-time learning. They stress that while many teams focus on games and competition, the instructional league creates a supportive environment for players to learn without fear of mistakes. “This is a unique space where kids can work on specific skills and get the targeted instruction they need from experienced professionals,” notes Smith. The founders highlight that at BRG, the development process includes not only technical skills but also mental preparedness and sportsmanship, taught by coaches who understand both the game and the growth process.
Brock explains that by focusing on developing skills—whether that’s individual defense, arm care, or situational awareness—players can enter competitive games with confidence. BRG’s instructional program is led by former MLB players, scouts, and coaches who bring a wealth of expertise to each session, ensuring that young athletes learn the technicalities and the life lessons necessary for success. In Brock’s words, “It’s not about who rises to the top; it’s about being the most prepared.” BRG invites young players and parents to witness the transformative impact of this program, where skills learned extend far beyond the diamond.
