Have You Heard About The Corn Belt League?

Dear Coach,

By now, we hope that you have heard of our summer collegiate league in Omaha, Nebraska! The league is growing in national attention and players from all over the country are wanting to come to Omaha to play. We had a successful and incredible season in the Corn Belt League this year! There were a lot of exciting games, plays and stand out players! We know everyone that played this summer in Omaha learned and developed from their experiences this season.

The players are encouraged to work out in our indoor facility and incorporate classes such as our Core/Shoulder classes, the Strength and Speed training as well as use the cages and tunnels to help improve their skills set. Our opening course that we offer the players is the Dale Carnegie leadership workshop. We believe it is important for players to learn skills they can use throughout their life and this workshop helps them learn how to conduct themselves not just as team member, but as a player both on and off the field as well.

Coach, we encourage you to find out more about the league and perhaps spread the word to your players. If you have any questions or want more information, please send an email to jsiwa@strikezoneomaha.com

2021 was a great season, we know the games played helped improve the players' competitive drive and skill set. The fans and press box staff had a blast watching them perform and develop over the course of this season!

Early league registration for the Fall of 2022 will begin October 1st. We would love to have your school represented again and encourage you to plan ahead this fall season. Players can register early to take advantage of our returning and new player discount. A small deposit is required to secure a position on a roster. There will also be a discount for "pitchers only" next year. We would like to establish our pitchers as soon as possible and build teams around them.

Our goal is to expand to 8 teams and we ask for your help in this recruiting process for potential new prospects for next season.

We are proud of how this league has grown and hope your school will be a part of the Corn Belt League in 2022. Please take a look at the End of the Season recap and video from the league at the bottom of this email. It truly was an incredible season.

HAVE A GREAT FALL SEASON! If you have any questions about the league, please reach out to me at any time. We will be reaching out to you as well as the fall progresses.

Sincerely yours in baseball,

Joe Siwa

END OF SEASON RECAP

A GREAT SEASON ENDS FOR CORN BELT SUMMER COLLEGIATE BASEBALL LEAGUE

The 2021 Corn Belt Collegiate Summer Baseball League ended another successful season with intense competition and development with the expansion of seven teams in the league battling it out to become league and end of the season tournament champions.

Managed by the Strike Zone, The Corn Belt League has come to be known as one of the nation’s premier collegiate summer developmental baseball leagues with over 180 athletes playing in the league. With over 80 colleges/universities being represented by these players, the competition was intense and enjoyed by all.

The goal of the league is to provide players the opportunity to develop their skills while playing against high quality teams. Coming from all over the country, players get to see the level of play expected across the nation and what they need to do to play at that level. Friendships are formed, techniques are learned and great baseball is had by all.

The league ensures professional coaching, indoor training facilities and provide players with housing and employment opportunities/internships as needed throughout the season. The league aims to help players prepare both mentally and physically and send them back to their schools more prepared to take on challenges.

One great aspect is the league’s host family program. For those players coming to Omaha and needing a place to stay, the league provides host families that invite players into their home for two months. Having the opportunity to meet families and be apart of them is a rewarding experience for all. For young players in the home, the chance to learn the work ethic it takes to be a student athlete is something that they can take with them as they grow up through the ranks of the game. For the college player being hosted, it provides a great support system as they play in the league away from home. Now that the season is completed, players will return to their respective schools.

These players leave behind good memories on and off the field. Relationships are formed that can last a life time.

The Omaha Filthballers claimed the regular season title as well as tournament champions under 3rd year Head Coach, Johnston Hobbs and Assistant Coaches Dan Babe, Jared Jones and Brendan Anderson and worked their way to the Tournament Championship Game and became champions of that as well.
