From free clinics for Little Leaguers and paying league fees for players experiencing economic hardship to college baseball recruiting support and a college scholarship program for first-generation players, we’re building an A to Z support system for youth baseball players.
We created Keep Playing Baseball (“KPB”) in memory of Scott Heinig, a young high school coach and former Division 1 pitcher who passed away in 2011. Scott was dedicated to helping high school players succeed and have the opportunity to play baseball in college. Scott’s family, friends, and former teammates created KPB to continue this effort. Today, KPB supports players at all levels of youth baseball with cost-free educational resources, positive and fun local programming, and financial support at ages when many young players struggle because of limited resources. Thanks to generous supporters and great baseball communities, our ability to deliver on our mission has never been stronger.
