The 3B Barons are powered by Beaver Valley Baseball the most elite travel baseball organization around.  We help kids who desire developmental opportunity, insight and instruction to progress into the player they want to be. BV Baseball allows the Barons to share the resources, networking and experience they have established over the last 30+ years which gives all Barons a killer edge on the competition. 

Beaver Valley Baseball Club, founded in 1996, has been one of the most respected baseball programs in the country for the past 28 years. In our years of existence, we have competed on the highest level of travel baseball. We mix the top local travel experiences with the most competitive travel tournaments in the northeast and mid Atlantic regions. In our illustrious existence, we have won the coveted Cooperstown Dreams Park Tournament a national record 14 times, and have several other National Championships under our belt, including the Nations top event, the USSSA Elite World Series in Disney. In 2019, our organization finished in the winner’s circle in over 100 different events, by far the most of any other local program!! Our history proves that we are the premier baseball program in the Pittsburgh area, and one of the top baseball programs in the country.

The program has an extensive winter training program that focuses on all aspects of baseball. From individual skill level to team skills, our BV BASEBALL players get the whole gauntlet of travel baseball. We prepare our players for the upcoming season, and beyond. All of our practices are fast paced, and set up for our players to handle the baseball in a large series of reps!! We watch our arms closely and stress the importance of building arms up — our players do not even step on the mound until Mid February, a month after we start our winter training.

When our winter program is complete, we turn our attention to the spring/summer tournament and game season. We are not a program that “trophy chases”, we are a program that seeks out the best competition we can find. Before you judge how good a team or player is, you better judge the competition they are playing. Our players are consistently being challenged on the highest level of the game, they log many games against the best teams in PA and surrounding states. This brings out the best in our athletes and allows them to grow as a player. We fear no competition!!

A BV BASEBALL player is expected to be tough, competitive, a hard worker, a great student, a great kid, aggressive, fearless, respectful, coachable, professional, always ready for a challenge, and courageous. The BV BASEBALL CLUB is in the business of teaching young men the great game of baseball, and making them respectful people at the same time. We expect to win games, but when we lose, we do not make excuses or point fingers, we tip our cap to our opponent and get ready for the next challenge. In short, a BV BASEBALL player is a Champion in a lot of ways!!! If you think your son has what it takes to be a BV BASEBALL player, please send me an email through our “REQUEST A TRYOUT” link on our homepage.

The established Tri-State Collegiate League is joining forces with the upstart Rust Belt Collegiate Baseball League in 2023 with teams in Western PA and Eastern Ohio as the North American Baseball Alliance. The communities represented are Butler, Youngstown, DuBois, Altoona, Meadville, New Castle and East Butler. The qualities of each community will be reflected in the team. 

The league is designed for student-athletes to compete at a high level and in an exciting atmosphere. The Minor League-like festivities in between innings and post-game activities will provide an affordable family friendly atmosphere at some ballparks. 

Teams will play a 26 regular season schedule beginning on June 1 and concluding by July 16, 2023. 

The Leagues are committed to the development of the student-athletes and the communities they call home.

The mission of Youngstown Class B Baseball is to provide premier playing fields and related facilities that promote amateur baseball for young adults ages 13-18. Youngstown Class B Baseball prides itself on offering our youth the opportunity to play highly competitive baseball at the professional grade facilities at Bob Cene Park.

Bob Cene Park & Youngstown Class B Baseball, an Ohio Non-Profit Organization, would like to thank you in advance for any support you can provide. In the words of the late Bob Cene, “This park is the inheritance for our youth’s future.”

Babe Ruth Baseball - Ages 13-16

Founded in 1951, Babe Ruth Baseball League was created for ballplayers ages 13-16 who wished to continue their baseball playing experience beyond the age of 12. This is where players get their baseball cleats muddy for the first time on standard 90' diamonds under Official Baseball Rules used by Major League Baseball. In this division, teams are eligible to enter tournament competition and move along the tournament trail, culminating in a World Series. Four World Series are held in this division: one for 13 Year-Old players, one for 14 Year-Old Players, one for 13-16 Year-Old Players and the renowned 16-18 World Series.
