About Called Up Baseball

History

Called Up Baseball Camps is derived from the old Ben Orr Baseball Camps which began in 2001. Ben's goal in creating the camp came when he was sitting in a church service one Sunday. Ben had a desire to use his platform as a pro baseball player to impact the youth in his community. He wanted to create an environment where kids would not only get great coaching from professional baseball players, but they would also see how to live a life that would bring them success beyond the playing field.

Baseball With A Greater Purpose

In baseball everybody wants to be "Called Up". Whether it be from J.V. to Varsity or from minor league ball to the major leagues, every player desires to get that call.

The truth is that we all have an opportunity to be "Called Up". When Jesus Christ died on the cross He not only saved us from our sin, but offered us an invitation to be with Him forever in Heaven. (John 3:16)

While it is important to give it our best on the playing field, when we die it won't matter how many homeruns we hit or how many strikeouts we accumulated. What will matter, is whether we accepted "The Call" from God who created us.
