About Us

Who We Are

Hit & Run Sports, Inc. was formed in 2010 to provide the Hudson Valley area with a premier Baseball and Softball Training Facility.

The former Salt Point Highlanders travel baseball team based out of Poughkeepsie became the first baseball team to join Hit & Run Sports. The Highlanders were started in 2007 as a 10u team by the owner of Hit & Run Sports, Richard Brideau. Coach Brideau started the Salt Point Highlanders team to give young players a chance to play high level baseball competition locally, regionally, and nationally. The team has proved to be a huge success winning and challenging for titles in numerous travel league seasons and tournaments including twice winning the prestigious Baseball Heaven Tri-State Championships in Long Island as a 10u and 12u team. Hit & Run Sports will provide the Hudson Valley area youth with a place to come and join a group of like-minded baseball and softball players who want to learn and excel at their game.

Hit & Run Highlanders Travel Program

Hit & Run Sports, Inc. is an indoor Baseball and Softball training facility. Our primary focus will be on the development of baseball/softball players and teams for youths aged 9 thru 18. We will look to develop strong teams by finding the best athletes in the Hudson Valley to compete locally, regionally, and nationally in leagues and tournaments. Hit & Run Sports will offer the best coaching and professional training to provide kids with the tools necessary to become great ballplayers and great people. We have flexible hitting and pitching tunnels which can be used for little league (46’), travel (50’), and school (60’) practices. All of our tunnels slide out of the way to open up an area for team workouts. We also offer hitting stations to focus on a player’s skill development. Hit & Run Sports offers professional instruction for individuals, groups, and team hitting, pitching, fielding lessons. Hit & Run also offers a team meeting room. The Highlanders will emphasize the overall development of athletes, not just baseball and softball players. A major component of our training will be “Athleticism” thru strength and conditioning training of all our athletes.
