Billy Butler is no stranger to athletic success, which is why he and his wife Katie Butler, decided to open the Idaho Athlete Project.
A facility where athletes can receive pitching and hitting lessons or focus on sport-specific training to increase speed, strength and agility.Â
The Butlers believe there s a lot of talented athletes in East Idaho, and want to give them a facility to train to help them reach the next level. I mean that s the main goal here is to give kids more opportunity than they currently have, said Owner and Head Hitting Coach Billy Butler.Â
Butler is a former Major League Baseball player. He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals and played for the Idaho Falls Chukars.
