Midwest Partnering with Local Communities
Coaches:
The upcoming season marks the 32nd for Midwest Ohio Baseball League (under two names). The Midwest Ohio Baseball League has been the formative League for thousands of players who went on to play high school baseball, hundreds of players who went on to play college baseball and dozens of players, including some Major Leaguers, who have gone on to play professionally. We are proud of our impact on the Baseball Community and intend to continue to positively influence baseball in the Miami Valley for many years to come.
Our Prime Directive has always been to do what is in the best interests of baseball in the Miami Valley and to remember, it is always about kids playing baseball.
We are announcing several initiatives for the 2022 season which will enhance this Prime Directive:
The Midwest Ohio Baseball League will be bringing Professional Baseball Skills Camps to the Miami Valley.
Be on the lookout for exciting announcements and more information in the coming days.
