The Phillies Science of Baseball Presented by PGW provides a mechanism for students to improve their academic performance using baseball. Our goal is to use the love of baseball into an appreciation, understanding, and passion of the science and mathematics underlying the sport. Through this approach, we aim to empower students who may be underperforming academically by relating core curriculum topics to their athletic strengths, capabilities, and interests.
