First and foremost, we welcome you and your athlete to the Hit-Men Baseball organization.
Thank you for allowing your child to play baseball this year. We have met many of you, and look forward to meeting the new parents. We are extremely excited about helping your child expand their understanding of the great game of baseball! As their coaches, our first emphasis will be on what we call FUNdamentals. We will work with your child to further develop their fundamental skills and hopefully we will have a lot of FUN learning together and playing baseball.
We demand that each child is respectful. Respectful to all coaches, fellow players, opponents, officials and those they come in contact with throughout the season. We believe it is important to develop an early understanding of sportsmanship and teamwork. Our focus is to teach, not win. We will win as a team and lose as a team. We hope that you also share this philosophy and will discuss and emphasize these concepts with your children throughout the season.

Our purpose and mission is to give the young men instructional guidance and experience in playing baseball at a higher level of competition. In order to do this, The Hit-Men sends its teams to tournaments in the state of Illinois and schedules games with teams in Central Illinois. The emphasis is always on sportsmanship, character, skill development, and fun, over winning. We also feel to compete with the best you must play the best and sometimes this means learning the hard way or as some people call it, losing a few games. Win or lose, our coaches are committed to the program and assisting your son into becoming a better baseball player.
Be sure to read all of the information under the Parent | Player Information tab. This will provide you all of the information you will need to about our organization as a whole. From our board to coaches, to parents, to players – we will strive to be the best baseball organization around.
