From the Dugout to an App: Baker Helton’s AI-Building Story
Baker Helton’s February program followed a baseball coach’s path from a problem on the field to a public-facing application built with AI assistance.

February 25, 2026 · 200 W Capitol Ave, Little Rock, Arkansas. Original event program

Start with a problem you know

The published session title was “How a Baseball Coach ‘Vibe-Coded’ a Winning App into a Scalable Business.” The listing described Baker Helton as a baseball coach, Senior Advisor at the Disc Golf Pro Tour, and former SaaS Product Manager. Original event program

A builder’s perspective without a traditional coding background

The event’s story followed a tool first created for Baker’s own dugout and its development into an application launch. AI-assisted “vibe coding” was the method described in the program, with the practical need on the field providing the starting point. Original event program

Questions to carry forward

  • What problem do you understand well enough to prototype a solution?

  • Who would you ask to test it before you expand beyond your own use?
