Mashlab swings for the fences in Liberty Hill Tony Wyss wants kids of all backgrounds to be able to enjoy baseball and bene t from the life lessons the sport teaches. “This idea that you need to be [from] some rich family to get better at baseball – I just want to shoot it down,” said Wyss, owner of Mashlab in Liberty Hill.
How we got here One of the things that upped business and expanded Mashlab’s reputation in the community was starting Friday Night Lights in 2023. Mashlab brings in former college and pro level pitchers for young athletes to face o against on Fridays. “The Friday Night Lights thing blew it up. We went from 40 members to over 100,” Wyss said. He said the concept pits 12- and 13-year-olds against adult athletes to get them used to a higher level of play, so when the young players get up to bat against other players their own age, it’s less daunting.
What else? The better someone is at baseball, the more fun it can be. But the training needed to improve can be expensive, so players from wealthier families often end up being able to be better. After facing his own struggles growing up, Wyss said he wants to bring out the talent in players who might not have honed their skills otherwise. “We think that there’s a lot of kids out there that have the potential to do a lot of great things on the eld if they just had the opportunity to get some more advanced training.”
