About Top Tier Baseball
Top Tier Baseball started in 2004 with one 18U team. That team became a national brand, quickly, traveling the country and showcasing its talent in prestigious tournaments, going on to win 40+ games and featuring big leaguer John Ely along with five more draft picks. In total, 89 Top Tier Baseball players have been drafted, including six in 2025. Headlining that group is Brendan Summerhill, a Competitive Balance round pick (No. 42 overall) by the Tampa Bay Rays. Over 1,000 Top Tier players have committed to play college baseball.

Top Tier has evolved into one of the elite amateur baseball organizations in the country. The strength of our program lies in our commitment to developing players and building confidence through hard work and dedication, a commitment that has shown up on the diamond in some of the largest and most prestigious tournaments in amateur baseball. In 2022 and 2023, the Top Tier/5-Star Roos Mafia won Perfect Game's WWBA World Championships, and in 2024, Top Tier's 17U Select team took third in a highly competitive USA Baseball National Team Championship tournament. Top Tier currently has three active big leaguers, Paul DeJong, Sam Antonacci, and Andrew Hoffmann.
We take great pride in Top Tier's “A Tradition of Baseball Excellence,” built through the hard work of outstanding players, dedicated coaches, the unwavering support of our sponsors, and the commitment of parents. Our common purpose is to put players in a position to compete, gaining confidence through success and learning through failure. We believe our staff puts players in the best position to succeed on and off the field.
Top Tier's network includes satellite teams across Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, and Oklahoma, roughly 600 teams and 7,000 players nationwide.
