WHAT TO BRING: Players need to wear baseball pants and ball cap - NO SWEATS! Bring your own glove, helmet, bat (wood bat provided in AAA division), cleats and if catcher, catchers' equipment. Shirts tucked in - look sharp like a ballplayer should.
Take a look at the Kettlebell Advantage web site (link on the right side of this page). The Mount Mercy Baseball team has trained with Kettlebell Advantage and are big believers in the benefits of kettlebells. It's not only a great way for youth to begin strength training but also one of the best ways to train for explosive movement (i.e. baseball movement)! Location now in Cedar Rapids.

Thank you for visiting our exclusive Mount Mercy University Fall Baseball League web site! 2010 marks the 12th consecutive year for the Mount Mercy Fall Baseball League (FBL) and we are excited to continue the tradition.

Our mission for the FBL is more than simply playing games; we strive to develop skills and practices that will enable participants to make improvements in their game. The Mount Mercy FBL is a great time to identify and work on areas of improvement for the coming winter and spring training seasons.

With the feedback from past participants we have made some modifications within the different divisions. Listed below are the Mount Mercy Baseball offerings for fall 2010:

Please be sure to check out the information on this web site specific to your age and division. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

2009 was a terrific year that saw a record number of players in the league - over 550 participants and 47 teams! We are looking forward to building upon past success and providing more baseball experience in the area.

Thanks for visiting and go Mustangs!
