Pitchdoc 24,Free publicity aside, the White Sox academy is far and away #1 as far as facilities are concerned. As an added bonus for $160.00 per month (if you are fortunate enough to become a member which is limited to 100 baseball players only) you get 24 lessons and Mark Crabtrees speed/explosion classes as part of the deal.Cages are almost always available at no charge to members and their video opputunites are very good as well. Having said that, if you are flush and a good or great prospect you'll still need to work w the Whealy's, Nelson's and Haywards, but at a much lower over all cost. ($55 per hr @ Strikes Vs $160.00 per month is really no contest) Finally it is very hard to join as a member at WSA. I would suggest a call to them regarding the wait list. Soph's and Juniors especially.
