Midwest Ohio Baseball League 

   “A Better Way To Play” 

What a night! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our end-of-season Awards Night at the Dayton Dragons game. We had a record turnout, making it one of the biggest and most memorable celebrations in Midwest Ohio Baseball League history!

Seeing our players take the field at Day Air Ballpark is always a special moment. Congratulations to the three players who represented our league by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch—you made your teammates, coaches, and families proud!

A very special thank you goes to Ron Oester, Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame second baseman, for spending the evening with us. Ron generously signed more than 100 baseballs, took time to visit with our players and families, and helped create memories that these kids will never forget. We are truly grateful for his generosity and support of youth baseball.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Dayton Dragons for their outstanding hospitality and all of the great swag they provided. They continue to make our league feel welcome every year.

Most importantly, thank you to our players. Your excitement, sportsmanship, and respect throughout the evening made us incredibly proud. With an event of this size, involving well over a thousand people, we work hard to make sure every child has a great experience. While we understand that no large event is ever perfect, our volunteers give their time and hearts to make every player feel special. If we ever fall short, we learn from it and strive to do even better the next time. Our focus has always been—and always will be—creating lasting memories for every child who plays in Midwest Ohio Baseball League.

Despite a season filled with rain delays and schedule changes, our players, coaches, parents, volunteers, and teams never gave up. Together, you made this another successful season, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Registration for the 2027 season opens Friday, July 15. We can’t wait to see everyone back on the field and make next season even bigger and better!

Thank you for being part of the Midwest Ohio Baseball League family.

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:
