22U (Junior)
While OSMB does not currently offer a 22U program, Baseball Ontario does support youth baseball at the 22U level. As our program continues to grow, we hope to one day see a 22U baseball program established in Owen Sound. The 22U / Junior program would compete as a member of the NDBL (North Dufferin Baseball League) - which offers baseball at the 22U (Junior) and 23+(Senior) levels.
As baseball is a summer sport that can be faced with days of extreme heat, please see the
