We emphasize long term, sustainable success over short term victories. This is evident with how many kids from our program go on to be drafted out of high school and college. We don’t look at players with a mindset of just winning games right now we look at what players will be in 4-5 years.
While we realize that not all players will be play professionally or even move on to play D1 baseball, we have been the leader in both categories since our inception. It is always our goal to be a “development first” program which focuses on teaching the game with fundamentals first. Clay has since moved to be the Assistant Coach at the University of Oklahoma. Lane worked closely with Tulsa Sandlot founder, Clay Overcash as they attracted the most talented kids in Oklahoma to their teams. Sandlot strives to teach the kids to play the game professionally so it’s no surprise that so many drafts have come from our program. The coaches have had either pro or college playing experience, and many have coached in pro ball or college baseball. Monty was the first in a long line of high-quality baseball instructors that have led OKC Sandlot teams. The following summer, OKC Sandlot started a summer program and hired Monty Fariss to coach the team. They brought players together for Fall instructional league games and workouts. Lane was working with the Padres at the time, and Ryan was working with the Marlins. OKC Sandlot was started in 2008 under the direction of Lane Decker and Wardinsky.
