Baseball Factory announced today a partnership with Maryland Orthopedic Specialists that will deliver helpful sports medicine information to thousands of baseball players nationwide.  The organizations will work together to provide Baseball Factory players and families with educational information on common sports medicine issues that baseball players face.  In addition, players in the Mid-Atlantic region will be able to take advantage of the medical services provided by the Maryland Orthopedic Specialists.  

“When you are injured as an athlete, getting back on your feet and playing competitively as soon as possible is of paramount importance,” said Steve Sclafani, CEO and Founder of Baseball Factory.  “Maryland Orthopedic Specialists combines the best in evaluation and diagnosis through their orthopedic doctors with a cutting edge team of physical therapists.  This team really knows how to communicate with athletes and get you healthy and on the field again as quickly as possible.  I highly recommend Maryland Orthopedic Specialists to all of the athletes I see coming through the Baseball Factory.  Maryland Orthopedic Specialists is top notch!”
