Press Release

Tree City Baseball Academy is excited to announce its formation as a premier youth baseball program in McMinnville dedicated to developing young athletes aged 6U to 12U for middle school and high school baseball. Guided by our mission, “It’s about the KIDS,” Tree City Baseball Academy focuses on fostering a love for the game, teamwork, and community pride while building fundamental skills and character to prepare players for competitive play. 

Unlike traditional travel ball organizations, the Tree City Baseball Academy prioritizes player development, emphasizing proper mechanics in throwing, catching, hitting, and baserunning, alongside mental preparedness and values like respect, responsibility, and effort. Our program aims to strengthen McMinnville’s baseball community by keeping local talent engaged and providing mentorship from high school players, coaches, and respected local baseball figures.

Season: September–December 2025

Groups: 6/7U, 8U, 10U, 12U (10–12 players per team, selected via tryouts)

Activities: 1–2 practices per week in McMinnville, focused on skill development through drills and mentorship.

Focus: Developing fundamentals (throwing accuracy, catching mechanics, hard-contact hitting, intelligent baserunning) and mental skills (game awareness, handling failure) to prepare for higher-level play.
