News release
The Hays Eagles Baseball organization has announced its merger with the Hays Baseball Club, effective Feb. 1.
The merger will combine the best of the area's youth baseball talent (ages 8u -14u) with the best of its high school talent (ages 15 to 19).
There are currently 10 teams associated with the Hays Baseball Club. After increasing interest in the past two years, the Hays Eagles last year expanded to three teams — two junior clubs (ages 15 to 17) and a senior team (ages 17 to 19).
The Hays Eagles will have player evaluations next month to prepare for the upcoming season and determine the number of teams for 2022.
Evaluations will be Feb. 26 at Premier Indoor Training (PIT). Freshman and sophomores are expected to try out at 1 p.m., and juniors and seniors are expected to try out at 3 p.m.
The Hays Eagles will continue to operate as an independent board under the umbrella of the Hays Baseball Club and will make all decisions regarding coaching and scheduling. All currently scheduled fundraising activities for both organizations will continue as planned, including the popular Cash Bash promotion and a new golf tournament scheduled for May.
The move follows the Eagles' departure from their longtime affiliation with the American Legion baseball program.
