Why Fall Ball
Fall Ball players get structured games against other local teams, coaching from Indians staff and alumni, and a path to the collegiate summer roster. Several current Indians started in the Fall Ball program. The program also creates paid roles for young adults in coaching, scorekeeping, field preparation, and umpiring.
