Testimonials

BOBBY JEFFRIES

"Freedom Baseball has meant a lot to me. Through it, I have gained many friendships and formed unbreakable bonds. It has helped me become a better all-around player, making me stronger and more skilled over the years"

Harris Honeycutt

"Freedom Baseball has been a great blessing on our lives. My son has grown up here surrounded by good coaches and parents. We’ve won and we’ve lost but we’ve done both with respect."

Joe Baznik

"Freedom baseball is more than just baseball. Freedom teaches the kids not only how to play the game at a high level, but more importantly, teaches the kids valuable life lessons as they grow into young men. Freedom also has a sense of family that spreads across all age groups. If you’re a part of one team, you’re a part of the entire Freedom family where each family supports and genuinely wants the best for each other. Having been around other baseball organizations, this is something that is very rare to find."
