Welcome to Dizzy Dean
Baseball/Softball
Dizzy Dean Baseball,
Inc. is a non-profit youth Baseball/Softball
organization whose mission is to provide a recreation
outlet for as many youth as possible regardless of sex,
religion, race or color.
The main purpose of
this program is to provide youth ages five (5) through
nineteen (19) years of age, a fair and equal community
based baseball and/or softball program.
Our goal is to
instill in our youth the ideas of good sportsmanship,
honesty, discipline and a sense of teamwork so that they
may become strong, healthy, well-adjusted members of
their community.
The rules of Dizzy
Dean Baseball Inc. are designed with emphasis on local
league play rather than tournament play. However, we do
offer State and World Series tournaments for leagues
wishing to participate.
Our rules are based on
the official rules of Major League Baseball with
specific modifications and field dimensions, which are
designed with the age specific physical development of
the youth taking precedence.
There is no such thing as “one size fits all”; every
community has their own specific needs. With this in
mind, Dizzy Dean Baseball/Softball allows individual
parks to
modify their regular season playing rules to better fit
the needs of their youth, as long as the overall intent
of the rules is not violated (particularly pitching
rules).
Jay Hannah “Dizzy”
Dean was always interested in youth baseball and the
development of youth. Dizzy Dean Baseball, Inc. is a
front-runner in youth baseball and softball and our
intentions are to honor Dizzy Dean by associating his
name with a recognized leader in the field of youth
baseball and softball.
First organized in
1977 Dizzy Dean Baseball, Inc. has grown to a
multi-state youth based organization.
