About Recruits Baseball
Recruits Baseball is one of the premier baseball clubs & indoor training facilities in the Midwest, dedicated to developing athletes from the ground up. With teams ranging from 6u through 18u, our players come from across the bi-state area and beyond to compete at the highest levels of the game. The teams compete on a national level, against high end competition.
Since our first team in 2009 we have helped send over 120 players on to compete at the collegiate level, while also producing multiple MLB draft picks and professional players. Our mission goes far beyond wins and accolades – we strive to build well-rounded athletes who gain knowledge, confidence, and a relentless work ethic through our program.
Our state-of-the-art training facility, combined with a passionate and experienced coaching staff, provides players every opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe high-level baseball should be accessible to all, and we are committed to giving back to the community that supports us.
