Since the inception of the "Metro League," over 250 of our players have gone on to play at the professional level. 18 of Metro's graduates have "lived the dream" and have reached the Major League level. These 16 players are the charter members of Metro Collegiate's Hall of Fame.

Players in the Metro Collegians Instructional Baseball League are between the ages of 19-22. We are proud that at least 90% of our players are attending college on athletic or academic scholarships.

In order to sharpen the skills of our players, provide better context for their performance and give ourselves a professional look, the Metro League exclusively uses wooden bats. We are a franchise of the NABF and will be sending a team to post-season play through the NABF.

The Metro Collegians Instructional League was formed by ex-professional baseball players, Major League Scouts, and area college and high school coaches with the intention to instruct boys at all age levels in the fundamentals of baseball. The League conducts baseball clinics throughout the year for coaches, boys, and girls in all age groups up to the age of 22.

Metro Collegiate's newest almuni to reach the major leagues is David Freese

David Freese
David played his college ball at Meramec Community College and at the University of South Alabama. He was a major contributor to Metro’s infamous 2003 league champions that eventually became NABF National Champs. He also played with our 2004 league champs as well. David was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 9th round of the 2006 amateur draft. After successful 2006 & 2007 seasons in the Padres minor league system, he was traded to the Cardinals in an offseason deal that sent Jim Edmonds to San Diego. David skipped Class “AA” ball as the Cards assigned him to Class “AAA” in Memphis, TN. He really opened some eyes while in Memphis hitting .306 with 91 RBI’s and 26 home runs. Congrats to our latest alumni to reach the “Bigs.”

Congratulations!
