Baseball Factory would like to welcome back Andy Ferguson, Senior Director of Baseball Operations, and Dan Mooney, Player Development/Life Skills Director.

Andy is a graduate of North Carolina State University, where he joined the baseball team as a walk-on and played a role on a team that participated in four straight NCAA Regionals. He later spent a season coaching for the Norwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and then joined the Baseball Factory as Director of Scouting. At the same time, he also served as an Associate Scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates and then later for the San Diego Padres. After some time outside the organization, he rejoined Baseball Factory as a Scouting Consultant in August 2007.

Dan began his collegiate career as a catcher at Brevard Junior College. He later transferred to North Carolina State University where he was a two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer. After college, Dan played professionally in the Boston Red Sox organization where he reached the double-A level before being forced to retire due to an injury. Dan will work along side Kelly Kulina and the rest of the Exclusive staff with a focus on helping players improve their baseball and life skills.

Baseball Factory would also like to welcome Bernadette Bechta who will be serving as Academic Advisor. She will be the main contact for players and parents in the Exclusive Program.
