OUR STORY

Two coaches, one shared passion, and a hometown we’re proud to call our own. BT607 was created to bring high-quality softball instruction to the Greater Binghamton Area, giving young athletes access to the knowledge, experience, and individual attention needed to develop their skills, build confidence, and compete at a higher level. As coaches who grew up playing in this area, we want to invest in the next generation by helping players reach their potential, become better teammates, and develop a lasting love for the game.

Meet the coaches

Since Bump and Transue have been on staff together, Binghamton Softball has continued to raise the standard, setting a program record for wins in a four-year span, producing three consecutive America East Players of the Year, and breaking single-season records for home runs, doubles, and fielding percentage — all while maintaining some of the best team GPAs in program history.

We believe in what’s possible when athletes are challenged, supported, and given the tools to succeed. BT607 brings that same commitment to player development right here at home. This is a program on the rise, and we’re excited to help the next generation be part of what’s ahead.

What "BT607" means

BT607 started as a simple idea where the name does double duty. BT stands for Bump and Transue, the co-founders — which can also be read as BUILT. With 607 being the area code covering the Binghamton area and the rest of the Southern Tier. A place where some of the best players in program history have been from and where we hope to continue to bring in our next Bearcats from.

One Name. Two Coaches. One Home.
