Daytona Beach, Fla. – At DME Academy, the start of the 2025-26 baseball campaign is right around the corner, and head coach Michael Mains is armed with a roster that reflects both local talent and international reach. With a history of developing student-athletes who go on to compete at the NCAA Division I and professional levels, DME’s baseball program is poised for another competitive year.
The 2025 squad features a strong core of returning players paired with a talented international group. The team is set to compete in a 20-game fall schedule that includes two Perfect Game tournaments before entering an expanded spring slate highlighted by Florida Independent Schools Association (FISA) competition and a push for a playoff championship.
“We’re super excited,” said Mains. “Our group is young but focused—mostly 9th–11th graders—and we expect to compete at a varsity level. We over-performed last year, and I think we’re better this year.”
DME’s roster now represents multiple countries, fulfilling the Academy’s vision of building a truly global program. Players from Japan, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas will suit up this season.
“Our international players have fit in really well,” Main said. “We’ve got two from Japan on campus now and a player from Mexico, with two more internationals arriving soon. It’s already opening a new audience for us; we’ve gained 20–30 new Japanese followers this week alone.”
Among the standouts this year is Zack Killian, who earned recognition on the Perfect Game All-State team.
“Zack’s selection is a big deal and a reflection of the work he’s put in,” said Main. “We’re excited to see how his development continues this season.”
DME kicks off the season on the road on September 11 at 12 p.m. when they head to Ocoee, Florida, to face off against TNXL Academy.
