The mission of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) is to serve as an educational resource for the Major League and Minor League Baseball athletic trainers. PBATS serves its members by providing for the continued education of the athletic trainer as it relates to the profession, helping to improve their understanding of sports medicine so as to better promote the health of the constituency— professional baseball players. PBATS also serves as a resource to educate those outside the professional baseball athletic trainer community about the profession and about the athletic trainer’s integral position within the sports medicine team.

PBATS committees serve as the foundation for advancing the mission, values, and day-to-day impact of the organization. Each committee is composed of dedicated athletic trainers who volunteer their time and expertise to lead key initiatives—from research and education to diversity, public outreach, and event planning. These groups ensure that PBATS remains proactive, collaborative, and innovative in supporting its members and shaping the future of athletic training in professional baseball. Through their work, PBATS committees create meaningful opportunities for professional growth, community engagement, and lasting influence across the game.
