The next generation deserves more than a place to practice. They deserve a place to grow.
Meet the FounderRaised by a pro. Became a pro. Now building pros.
Dee Strange-Gordon is the son of 21-year MLB veteran Tom “Flash” Gordon. He grew up inside the game — watching the work, learning the discipline, and seeing first-hand what it takes to reach the highest level. Dee carried that into a career of his own, and now he’s pouring everything he learned into the next generation of athletes at DSG Academy.
