DBAT Announces Mustang merger

updated August 18, 2008

August 2008 marks the beginning of a new era in select baseball in the D/FW Metroplex as well as the entire North Texas region. The Dallas Mustangs and D-BAT of Dallas are merging their select baseball team operations to form the D-BAT Mustangs Baseball Club. This new organization will be led by Sam Carpenter of the Dallas Mustangs, Cade Griffis of D-BAT, and Shayne Currin, formerly of the McKinney Marshals. The purpose of the merger is to create a platform for high school and youth aged baseball players to develop their natural talents within a team concept while exhibiting their skills to college coaches and professional scouts in an effort to continue playing baseball beyond high school. The concept is loosely based on the highly regarded East Cobb Baseball Club based in the Atlanta, GA area.

“I believe that the true baseball people in DFW have wanted something like this to happen for a long time, but I don't think anyone ever thought that it could be pulled off. In 5 years, I believe people will look back and realize what a HUGE deal this is,” said the owner and president of D-BAT, Cade Griffis.

“Dallas is not the baseball power it once was. We have too many teams with too many good players spread out around the D/FW Metroplex. This effort of combining the Mustangs and D-BAT will only strengthen amateur baseball in this region, with the result being more national championships for Metroplex kids”, said Shayne Currin, the Director of Operations for the D-BAT Mustangs Baseball Club.

Sam Carpenter, the founder of the Dallas Mustangs, said, “This merger makes too much sense to ignore the possibilities. The hard part was getting three very competitive guys to look past what each had accomplished to what could be accomplished together. After last fall's experience working together on the Metro Scout League, each of us had a sense of what the next step could be for youth baseball in the Metroplex if we worked together. We are committed to doing that so that the kids have the benefit of our teamwork.”

The D-BAT Mustangs Baseball Club will begin operations on September 1, 2008. Tryouts for 2009 teams will begin in November 2008. Any questions should be directed to Shayne Currin at (214) 551-1979 or email him at marshalsbaseball@hotmail.com. Look for tryout information on the clubs website in OCTOBER at www.dbatmustangs.com
