About the Author

Adam Battersby is the president of ProBatter Sports, which is fitting since he inspired the product's invention and development as a youth baseball player in Westport, CT. He went on to play three sports (football, wrestling, and baseball) at both Fairfield Country Day School and The Brunswick School before a back injury sustained in football derailed his plans to play college baseball. After graduating from Providence College as a Business Major in 2001, he joined the nascent company, initially as a sales representative. He eventually assumed control in 2015. Adam resides in Norwalk, CT, with his wife, Lauren, and their three young children.
