“RPP provided me an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the latest player development technology in the industry. The staff took me under their wing on day one, and have become some of my greatest mentors. I would highly recommend the Data Internship to anyone who is interested in furthering their career in baseball. This experience was instrumental in helping me secure an internship with the Atlanta Braves.”
