A Big Win for Baseball in Greater Binghamton
Here is some great news for baseball families in the Southern Tier. Northeast Pride National Travel Baseball is officially coming to the Greater Binghamton area after completing a merger with Triple Cities Empire back in September.
A New Training Facility Is Coming to Vestal
The brand new indoor baseball training facility will open at 1000 Front Street in Vestal. The tentative opening date is December 21st and it’s being described as a state of the-art place designed to train players year round. The goal is for it to become a go to spot for serious training and player development in the area.
Why This Merger Matters for Local Players
It is building on what the Triple Cities Empire started with its by offering a strong, community based baseball path for local kids. Northeast Pride brings a nationally recognized platform that connects players to college coaches and pro scouts. That means local athletes can compete and get noticed without having to leave the area.

National Exposure, Right in Your Backyard
One of the biggest benefits of this partnership is visibility. Northeast Pride teams compete in events that draw hundreds of college recruiters and professional scouts. Now players from the Binghamton area will have direct access to that kind of exposure while training close to home.
Training That Doesn’t Stop When Winter Hits
The new indoor facility will feature advanced training tools, modern equipment, and year round programming. It will serve as the home base for Northeast Pride’s expanded regional teams making a path from youth baseball all the way up to elite national competition.
Built With Players in Mind
Former New York Met and Triple Cities Empire Co-President Josh Thole says the focus was always about the kids. By joining forces, he believes families now have access to higher level coaching, better resources, and opportunities that simply didn’t exist locally before.
