About Us
Mission
TC Baseball will provide all of our players a home where they can develop as baseball players and as people. Our goal is to field competitive teams of high character players that love the game and accept our coaching. Nothing that we do will be to our player’s detriment. If they decide down the line that baseball is not for them, they will be better at anything they choose to do because of being in this program. We are very detailed, hold our players accountable, and have higher expectations for them than they have of themselves.
