Our Philosophy, Our Coaches, Our Teams – It's Not Just Travel Ball

562 Philosophy

At 562 Baseball, we believe the game should be fun – but fun comes from competing at your best. Our philosophy is simple: develop the skills, habits, and mindset that set players apart.

Work Ethic Over Talent: Talent gets you started. Work ethic keeps you in the lineup.
Pressure Builds Confidence: We create competitive environments that teach players to thrive under pressure, not shy away from it.
Character First: A great swing or strong arm means nothing without integrity, leadership, and respect for the game.
The Accelerator Mindset: Little League is the foundation. We’re the step that pushes athletes further – faster. More reps, more accountability, more growth.

We coach hard, we demand effort, and we celebrate progress. Our job isn’t just to make better players. It’s to make stronger people who carry the lessons of discipline, resilience, and teamwork far beyond the diamond.

“We started this program because we saw a gap. Little League gives kids their start, their love for the game, and their first teammates. But what happens when your kid is ready for more?

That’s where we come in.

562 Baseball is built to be the bridge – from rec ball to competitive play, from the local fields to tournament stages. We push players harder, demand more from them, and teach them to love the grind as much as the game. Every rep here builds confidence, discipline, and toughness – qualities that last way beyond baseball.”
— Kris Keimig, instructor & BOD member

Our coaches are more than instructors – they’re mentors.

We believe in coaching with intensity, honesty, and heart. That means we’ll push your player to work harder than they thought possible, but we’ll also teach them how to carry themselves with discipline, sportsmanship, and pride. Our goal isn’t just better swings and cleaner fielding – it’s building confidence that lasts a lifetime.
