A B.I.G. thank you to our friends at for donating over $25K of baseball equipment to our program. The equipment will go towards our Free Little League that starts next month on the south side of Chicago for inner-city youth.

Congrats to our 10U Barnstormers for picking up a W on the road on Opening Day.

For almost 15 years our kids have played for MLB scouts and former pro and college players, who always put the kids first. So proud to see our guys go out and compete after being indoors for months!

Shoes were tied, belts were on, jerseys were tucked in, they busted their tails on and off of the field, someone warmed up the RF every inning, and everyone cheered each other on. What more can you ask for!? 🤓

Congrats to all of our former Barnstormers who are making noise at the collegiate and pro level right now too, keep playing the game the way that you were taught to. These kids pictured are on the same track 🚊

Today is a great day to be a part of something B.I.G. Step up to the plate and click on the link in our bio to make a contribution on this Giving Tuesday.

Every dollar counts, there are always more kids for us to impact through the great game of baseball! We appreciate your support of Chicago’s first indoor non-profit baseball academy!

All proceeds go towards equipment, uniforms and financial assistance for kids in need! Baseball can be an expensive sport, your gift - no matter what amount - will help level the playing field for at-risk youth.

Remember, it’s bigger than ⚾️. Help us help kids learn how to play on the field so that they can live better off of it.

Thank you for coming out and coaching the kids up last night. Anyone who saw you play, knows that you are a special talent that has skills you simply can’t teach.

The boys learned a lot from you, they don’t get to meet one of the top college players in the country everyday lol.

Our kids need young men like you in their lives, thanks for spending time with our guys.
