Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to create a baseball environment that fosters player development and promotes instruction, discipline, teamwork, honesty, sportsmanship and physical fitness in order to improve a player's baseball knowledge and execution.

What it reported doing in 2023

Baseball environment provided to eight separate divisions of youth. The divisions range from 8 to 18u (18 and under). One division for each respective year, as determined by the player's age. Positive instruction and coaching are provided to promote teamwork, dicipline, honesty and sportsmanship. Participation in tournaments provides a true baseball environment for the players to improve upon their knowledge and execution.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
