Since 2021, baseball registration in Owen Sound and the surrounding area has grown by over 200%, with over 400 registered baseball players participating in organized baseball programming in 2026. This growth has created exciting opportunities for our athletes, while also increasing the need for investment in facilities, equipment, coach development, player development programming, and community baseball initiatives.

As a volunteer-led organization, Owen Sound Minor Baseball is committed to providing affordable, high-quality baseball experiences for players of all ages and skill levels. From introducing young athletes to the game through our House League programs, to supporting competitive Rep and Select teams, our focus remains on creating opportunities for local players to learn, grow, and develop both on and off the field.

Funds raised through the #BaysoxNation 50/50 Cash Raffle will help support player and coach development initiatives, and future program enhancements that directly benefit the athletes and families who make up our baseball community.

By purchasing a ticket, you're not only giving yourself a chance to win a cash prize—you're helping invest in the future of baseball in Owen Sound and supporting the next generation of Jr Baysox players.

Thank you for your support of Owen Sound Minor Baseball and for being part of #BaysoxNation. Together, we're building something special for our players, families, and community. ⚾🧡🖤
