Muscle Baseball is committed to a foundation based on respect for the game and the goal of helping players reach their maximum potential on the baseball field, in the classroom, and in their lives.
We teach our players the importance of being a part of something bigger than themselves. Our players understand that individual accomplishments will always be outweighed by what is best for the team.

drive to get better every single day in all our players.
All players selected to Muscle Baseball teams will receive instruction from USA Baseball certified coaches. The year-long season includes practices, strength and conditioning, games, and tournaments.
