ABOUT CALLED UP BASEBALL
Our goal at Called Up Baseball is to see young athletes achieve great success on and off of the baseball field.
We accomplish this by offering the highest level of professional instruction and we take time each day of camp to do a short Character Value Study from the Bible.
Too many good players don’t reach their full potential on the field because of what happens at home, on the streets, or in the classroom.
Our staff at Called Up Baseball has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to playing the game. All of our lead instructors bring real life college and professional baseball playing experience that will greatly impact your kids. They not only have a love for the game of baseball, but also a desire to see young players succeed and have fun in the process.
We look forward to having your player join us this year at Called Up Baseball Camp. This will be a camp they will never forget!

A GREATER PURPOSE
In baseball everybody wants to be called up. Whether it be from J.V. to Varsity or from minor league ball to the major leagues, every player desires that call.
The truth is that we have all been invited to be "Called Up". When Jesus Christ died on the cross He not only saved us from our sin, but offered us an invitation to be with Him forever in Heaven. (John 3:16)
While it is important to give it our best on the playing field, when we die it won't matter how many homeruns we hit or how many strikeouts we accumilated. What will matter, is whether we accepted "The Call" from He who created us.
Called Up Baseball Camps is derived from the old Ben Orr Baseball Camps which began in 2001. Ben's goal in creating the camp came when he was sitting in a church service one Sunday. Ben had a desire to use his platform as a pro basebal player to impact the youth in his community. He wanted to create an environment where kids would not only get great coaching from professional baseball players, but they would also see how to live a life that would bring them success beyond the playing field.
