About Us

Buckeye Baseball 18+ was founded in 2006 by a group of baseball lovers whose sole purpose was the development of a state championship for summer 18+ leagues in the state of Ohio.

Principles of the organization include:

• The membership of this organization shall consist of Ohio-based, 18+-age baseball leagues with a minimum of 6 teams. (Ohio-based is defined as registered as an Ohio non-profit organization, an Ohio corporation, or having an Ohio address with documentation that the majority of its membership are residents of the State of Ohio.)
• 18+ defined for the purpose of any state playoffs: Baseball leagues, the age of whose players is 18 and over. Sixteen (16) or seventeen (17)-year-old players would be eligible provided they have completed their high school eligibility or have a signed letter of permission from the player's parents.
• Baseball leagues of fewer than 6 teams that do not meet the 'Ohio-based' criteria and individual teams with no league affiliation may petition the Buckeye Baseball 18+ Executive Committee for a waiver for membership.
• Membership status may be revoked by a two-thirds majority of the Executive Committee. Any franchise whose membership is in jeopardy shall be notified, in writing, by the Commissioner of the charges against them and be given the opportunity to respond to the charges at an Executive Committee meeting.
