Beep Baseball 101

A close-up view of a beep ball resting in a pitcher's mit on home plate.

Play ball!

Beep baseball is a challenging, physically-demanding and enjoyable competitive sport for athletes who are blind or visually impaired.

Whether in the batter's box or in the field, athletes use a combination of strength, skill and auditory senses to focus on the beeping ball and buzzing bases.

Beep baseball allows me to partake in a sport that since I was a young boy, I have always deemed hopeless due to my lack of vision. It allows me to have an outlet, even as an adult, for my competitive nature!
