Coastal Athletics · Wilmington, NC
Rock Solid players train year-round at Coastal Athletics, the Wilmington facility Fletcher Bates has run since 2003: two locations, ProBatter and HitTrax, and a weight room with physical therapy on site.
Cages, mounds, turf, and a weight room.
Both locations are in Wilmington. Corporate Drive is the home for hitting and pitching, and Technology Drive adds speed, strength, and physical therapy.

Get directionsSee every pitch. Measure every swing.
Pitching machine
A video of a real pitcher plays on a screen, and the ball arrives in sync with the delivery. Coaches set the speed and location and can mix up to eight different pitches, so hitters train timing against game-like pitching.
Ball tracking
Every ball in play is measured: exit velocity, launch angle, distance, and where it would land. Players can hit in any major league ballpark and watch their numbers climb over a season.
Year-round, in season and out.
Programs are open to Rock Solid players and to any player who wants to get better. Call the front desk to book.
