13 TOURNAMENTS, 7 CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES, 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS

USSSA 14U AAA Tournament Champions and Finalists

Greater Midwest Baseball 14U Stars and Stripes 250 – Missouri Turf Champions

The current 14U Oaklandon Bombers AAA (Indianapolis) will be a 15U Indy Sharks team for the 2027 year. We are holding tryouts to fill three new roster spots.

We are looking for players who can consistently contribute at an elite level (equivalent to AAA and Major at 14U) and are willing to put in the time and effort to get even better.

To schedule a tryout or get more information about our particular 15U Sharks team, send a text to Johnny Goldfinger at 607-279-4428 or email to jgoldfinger@gmail.com.

We bring the receipts. We are committed to developing our players and maintaining a culture that families want to be a part of. Every team says that, but we can prove it. All the players on our 10U Bombers team except two are still on our 14U team (one moved out of state and the other decided to prioritize a different sport). We went from single A as a 10U team to AAA as a 13U team with the same group of players that we developed over four years. Most teams improve by cutting their weak players and replacing them with stronger players. That’s fine, but we try to do things differently. We develop our players. We have many years of hands-on experience and the resources to make our players better.

What you will get with our 15U Indy Sharks team:

• A series of three weekend batting clinics with Bobby Bell (Astros’ minor league hitting coach).
• Pitching evaluations and instruction by Jason Taulman (former pitching coach at Butler, Marian, Ball State, and St. Joseph’s).
• 8-week arm strengthening program, which includes explosive movement, speed, and footwork training.
• Defensive development program designed by Doug Bernier (Rockies defensive coordinator) and used by Lawrence North baseball.
• Indoor and outdoor team practices during the fall and winter that reinforce what is taught in the hitting clinics, defensive development program, and pitching/throwing evaluations.
• Free access to the private Sharks Fortville training facility, which includes a weight area, med-ball rack, pitching lanes, seven batting tunnels, and pitching machines.
• Recruiting guidance and assistance from Jason Taulman who has three decades of experience in the college recruiting world.
• Annual Indy Sharks Scout Day with Prep Baseball Report.
• A summer tournament schedule curated by Jason Taulman.
• Coaching staff with years of experience coaching at the high school and travel levels.

Jason Taulman established the Indy Sharks in 2014 as an independent, grassroots baseball club. Unlike most franchise clubs, which are business first and profit driven, Jason Taulman founded the Sharks Baseball Club for the love of the game. Because of that, it prioritizes player development with professional coaches at an affordable price. The players and teams come first before the business. This independent approach combined with high-level professional instruction and a family atmosphere are what separate the Sharks Baseball Club from most other baseball organizations in central Indiana.

A steady stream of national baseball organizations have moved into Indiana over the past several years. This is not surprising given how much money is being made in youth sports. Some families feel like their children will be left behind if they don’t buy into the hype of national brands and the big promises they make. That fear is understandable because we all want what’s best for our kids as they pursue their dreams. Many baseball organizations, however, know how to manipulate these fears and dreams when they compete with each other for players and their money.

The Sharks are a competitive option to the business driven model of youth baseball. It is not a club that pays for or sells out to a national brand. The Sharks are fiercely independent and do things differently. It has a proven plan to give your player the opportunity to maximize his potential. Sharks alumni have played at every level of college baseball. You will get the honest truth about your player and personalized advice about recruiting if college baseball is your player’s goal.
