Veteran baseball leader and sales and marketing executive brings more than 30 years of experience developing programs and creating memorable experiences for players and families

[Branson, Mo.] Oct. 6, 2026 – Ballparks of America is proud to welcome Nate Brandt as the newest member of its team.  In addition to his wealth of experience in sales and marketing, Brandt brings more than 30 years of experience in baseball as a player, team owner, program director, and coach.

Throughout his career, he has helped build baseball programs from the ground up in communities across the country, with a consistent focus on player development, organizational growth, and delivering an exceptional experience for athletes and their families.

“Baseball has been part of my life for more than 30 years,” Brandt said. “I’ve experienced the game on the field, in the dugout, and behind the scenes, making sure players and families have an experience worth remembering.”

That passion and experience made Ballparks of America a natural fit.

I could not be more excited to bring my passion and experience to an organization delivering it at this level.”

In his new role, Brandt will connect with coaches, program directors, and baseball families across the country while helping more teams discover the unforgettable tournament experience available at Ballparks of America.
