Over the past 6 years, Myles has served 6-4-3 in a series of part-time roles related to the tournament hosting business. Myles has steadily shown his value to the company while progressing from a member of the field/concession crew to tournament director and to, most recently, senior tournament director for 6-4-3.
Myles grew up in Marietta and attended Marietta High School. Myles is currently finishing his degree in Mathematics at Kennesaw State University.
Please join us in congratulating Myles on this new, full-time role with 6-4-3.
In other staff news, David Carr will be leaving his operations role with 6-4-3 in March of 2024. Rush Eskridge, Jay Andrews, and Danny Pralgo will remain as the capable management team of 6-4-3.

The new additions to staff along with our existing and seasoned staff veterans – Rush Eskridge, TJ Pagan, Jamaal Hawkins, Brett Beasley, and Tucker Breen - will ensure 6-4-3’s continued success.
David Carr’s fingerprints are all over 6-4-3’s business units, facility, foundation, and staff.

Personal note from David Carr:
Launching 6-4-3 DP Baseball at Aviation Sports Complex has been a professional thrill for me. I am grateful to Danny Pralgo, Jay Andrews, the 6-4-3 staff members (both past and present), and the many talented players, dedicated coaches, and supportive parents who have contributed to 6-4-3’s early and on-going success as a top-of-class baseball academy. I thank you all for making 6-4-3 what it is today. I leave my role in operations with immense satisfaction for what the 6-4-3 brand has become and for the collective dedication and effort over the years that made it so. As a new chapter of life unfolds for my family, I will be cheering for 6-4-3 from afar. I also look forward to continuing my volunteer work with The 6-4-3 Foundation.
With gratitude and pride,
David
