Let’s get to work. See you on the field!

Blue Wave is partnering with one of the top national youth baseball programs and one of the top high school coaches in the nation to field 16U and 17U elite prospect teams for the 2026 baseball year.
ZT BLUE WAVE is now recruiting 2029, 2028, and 2027 high school players who are serious collegiate prospects seeking elite coaching, top competition, and a culture built on discipline, teamwork, and leadership, to achieve success in sports and in life.
TOP COACHES FOCUS ON PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
ZT Baseball’s High School Program Director Eric Borba will oversee player development and coaching staff for the ZT BLUE WAVE 16U and 17U teams that will play in top local and national showcase events throughout the summer.
Borba's esteemed coaching career includes more than 15 years at Orange Lutheran High School, where he led the varsity baseball team to multiple championships, sent more than 85 players to Division I colleges, and had 15 players drafted by MLB, including first-round picks.
Borba has also coached with USA Baseball and at Sonoma State University, as well as in various high school positions. He brings strengths in recruitment, athletic department management, student tutoring, scholarship budgeting, and more.
Blue Wave Managing Director Ray Lopez will also coach the teams, which have helped develop dozens of college players and several professionals. In addition to Blue Wave, Coach Lopez has led the Tustin Knights since 2009 and has worked with the Foothill High School baseball program for many years.
EXPOSURE & RECRUITING SUPPORT
Both coaches and staff for ZT BLUE WAVE 16U and 17U teams will focus on scout-evaluated competition with continuous assessment, through which top performers can advance to invite-only national events.
