Malden Youth Baseball is a nonprofit organization which we promote, develop, and supervise any and all boys and girls wanting to play baseball. Our goal is to ensure any child interested in playing baseball, ages 4yrs. old to 12 yrs. old, will have the chance in an organized setting. The league's board members work year round trying to provide for the children of Malden the best baseball program possible. There is no reward for this except seeing the smiling faces of the children when they get that first hit or catch the ball without any help from the coaches.
