Sandlot Baseball

While we will no longer host tournaments at The Sandlot (formerly the old Mickey Owen Baseball School), Sandlot Baseball will continue to provide the same quality youth baseball tournaments throughout the 4 State region. Under the direction of Brad Longley and Tom Cox, Sandlot Baseball will be hosting tournaments in Mt. Vernon, and many other area facilities in 2024.

Sandlot Baseball tournaments will be one day (Saturdays only), 3 games guaranteed and played in some of the areas finest ballparks. There is never a gate fee and coolers are always welcome. We will use quality age-appropriate fields where kids from 8-14 can play baseball from April to August. The 2024 schedule includes 12 tournaments.

Thank you for the overwhelming support of coaches, players, parents and fans. Because of you, Sandlot Baseball lives on.

We hope you'll join us in 2024, and look forward to hearing those immortal words, "Play Ball!"
