Maximum Exposure 9U

Happy Birthday to our shortstop, Easten!

We’re proud to have him holding down the middle of the infield and even prouder to watch the player he’s becoming.

Hope you have the best birthday, Easten! We hope 9 is your best year yet! 🥳🥳

🥈 RUNNER-UP IN OUR FIRST 9U TOURNAMENT!

What a way to kick off the season! Our boys battled, competed hard, and never stopped fighting. They came up just one game short, but walked away with so much to be proud of.

So proud of them and the way they showed up, played together, and believed in each other. This is only the beginning! 💪🏻💪🏾

🔥 9U. LET’S GO. 🔥

The wait is over… 9U baseball is officially here! ⚾️

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

PLAY WITH PURPOSE. LEAD WITH CHARACTER. COMPETE WITH FAITH.

As our boys head back to school, we are praying this year is filled with growth, kindness, courage, and confidence.

The lessons they learn in the classroom are just as important as the ones they learn on the field. We pray they work hard, ask questions, stand up for what’s right, include those who feel left out, and never be afraid to be themselves.

Baseball teaches them how to compete, but school teaches them how to prepare for the future. Both will shape the men they’re becoming.

Our prayer for each of these boys:

Lord,
Watch over them as they begin a new school year. Protect their hearts, minds, and friendships. Give them a love for learning, respect for their teachers, patience when things are difficult, and the courage to make good choices even when they’re hard. Help them remember that their character will always matter more than their grades, their talent, or the scoreboard. Let them be leaders through kindness, humility, and integrity. Keep them safe, help them grow, and remind them every day that they are loved beyond measure.

Go be great in the classroom, boys. We’ll see you back on the ball field soon. 📚⚾❤️

The boys had so much fun tonight! We had a water slide, glow stick baseball, lots of laughs, and made a few more memories together.

I’m incredibly grateful for this team, these kids, and especially these parents. Thank you for trusting us with your boys, for showing up, cheering them on, volunteering, encouraging one another, and making this season so special. We’ve built something that’s bigger than baseball, and I’m so thankful to be part of it.

Now it’s time to catch our breath for a minute before we jump right into fall ball together. I can’t wait to see what this next season has in store for this group. ❤️⚾💙

Today we celebrate the freedoms we often take for granted and honor the men and women who have sacrificed to protect them. From our Expos family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July. 🇺🇸

Happy Birthday to our #19, BIGGG MACK! ⚾🎉

Our shortstop turned catcher is as tough as they come. No matter where he is on the field, he’s always ready to compete and do whatever the team needs.

We’ve loved watching him make the move behind the plate, and we can’t wait to see him be the framing machine we’ve already caught a glimpse of. Pitchers are going to love throwing to him!

Most importantly, Mack is a great teammate and a great kid. We hope you have the best birthday and an even better year ahead.

They’re the ones spending countless hours in the backyard throwing batting practice after a long day of work. They’re sh****ng fly balls, catching bullpens, hitting grounders until the sun goes down, and driving from field to field because they believe in their boys. They may not always be the loudest voices at the ballpark, but make no mistake, they know exactly what their sons are capable of. They see the work when nobody else is watching, and they never stop pushing them to be the best players and young men they can be.

Behind every game, every practice, and every accomplishment are dads who have invested their time, energy, and hearts into helping their boys grow. They teach them about hard work, discipline, accountability, perseverance, and resilience.

To celebrate these dads, we asked each player two questions: What’s your favorite thing about your dad, and what’s your favorite thing to do with him?

Happy Father’s Day to our incredible dads 💙
