Baseball + Softball.
We field competitive teams for both baseball and softball athletes across all age groups. Whether your athlete is just getting into travel ball or looking to compete at the highest level — we have a spot for them.
We build highly competitive teams at every age group. We want athletes who want to work — kids who show up ready to get better and compete at a high level. If that’s your athlete, Canes MWD is where they belong.
Same standard as our baseball program — highly competitive teams built for athletes who are serious about getting better. We want players who come ready to work and compete, not just participate.
What sets us apart.
Every Canes MWD player gets a Hit Factory membership included — 24/7 access to our 8,160 sq ft indoor facility with five hitting lanes and HitTrax. Teams also get 12 structured indoor practices per season led by Hit Factory instructors, dedicated winter practice times, and all the equipment they need.
Our home outdoor fields are at Ceraland Park — turf, well-maintained, and right here in Columbus. Teams get 2 dedicated practice slots per week during the fall, spring, and summer seasons, pending daylight and weather. No driving an hour just to practice.
Canes is one of the most recognized travel ball brands in the country. Being part of the Canes family opens doors — national connections, college exposure pipelines, and a reputation that follows your athlete.
Every season our players wear custom Under Armour jerseys — high quality and designed fresh each year. We also pass along deals and discounts from our sponsors (Under Armour, Rawlings, Easton) to our families when they’re available.
We support multi-sport athletes. If your kid plays other sports, we work with their schedule — not against it. Travel ball shouldn’t cost them everything else.
We build highly competitive teams at every age group and we want athletes who are serious about getting better. If your kid shows up ready to work, compete, and be coached — they’ll fit right in here.
