Dee Strange-Gordon
Dee Strange-Gordon knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. A two-time MLB All-Star, National League batting champion, Gold Glove winner, Silver Slugger recipient, and three-time MLB stolen base leader, Dee built a career that spanned more than a decade in the big leagues — built on speed, discipline, preparation, and determination.
Now he is taking everything he learned across that career and pouring it into the next generation. DSG Academy represents a new chapter: an opportunity to develop young athletes not only through skill and competition, but through character, confidence, leadership, and accountability — the same habits that carried him to the top of the game.
