SAYO Grays blend books and baseball in Brooklyn’s 18U travel scene
Based in Brooklyn, the SAYO Grays operate as a 501(c)(3) travel baseball program built to advance student‑athletes academically and athletically [1]. The club’s name pays tribute to the Homestead Grays, tying today’s youth pipeline to a storied chapter of Black baseball [1].Player development sits at the center of the mission, with an emphasis on resilience, exposure, and college readiness carried through the program’s day‑to‑day messaging [2][3].At 18U, the roster is guided by head coach Darrel Tiebout, with assistants Bryan Rosario and Christopher Vargas, and team administrator Katty Pro, as listed on the NABF team profile [4]. Event and roster listings also appear on Five Tool/Baseball Tournaments, reflecting the group’s New York City footprint on the travel circuit [5].
