The complaint was lodged on October 31, 2024, in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. Ascent Athlete is accused of failing to maintain safe premises, leading to an incident where Jaszcz was struck by a baseball due to unsecured safety netting.
The case centers around an incident on January 11, 2023, when Jake Jaszcz visited the premises of Ascent Athlete located at 1451 Conchester Highway in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania.

"The negligence and carelessness of the Defendant consisted of failing to exercise proper care over the subject premises," states the complaint.
