The On-Deck Circle

Baseball player waiting in the on-deck circle during a night game under stadium lights, focused on the upcoming at-bat.

The On-Deck Circle:   From a young age in baseball, players are taught that the on-deck circle has a purpose. It is where a batter gets their timing, rhythm, and focus aligned, giving themselves the best opportunity to succeed at the plate. After all, the old adage reminds us that hitting is all about timing, […]

Built on Sacrifice

baseball field at sunset with an American flag and cross, illustrating the Christian devotion "Built on Sacrifice."

Built on Sacrifice: Fourth of July weekend is filled with flags, fireworks, and celebration. Before games begin, hats come off, people stand, and eyes turn toward the flag. Why? Because a flag represents sacrifice and freedom. It represents soldiers who gave their strength, their comfort, and for many, their lives so others could live free. […]

Built to Perform

High school baseball player sits on a dugout bench at sunset tying his cleats before a game. His glove, bat, and water bottle rest beside him as he prepares on the field, symbolizing discipline, preparation, and stewardship.

Built to Perform:   No serious baseball player walks onto the field with broken equipment on purpose. Players take care of their glove. They choose the right cleats. They tape their bats. They hydrate. They stretch. They train. They recover. Why? Because they understand performance is affected by preparation. A player cannot expect to perform […]

Who’s in Your Dugout?

Youth baseball players stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a dugout during a team prayer or huddle, with the devotional title “Who’s In Your Dugout?” displayed prominently in bold black and orange lettering alongside the Bibles & Baseball logo.

Who’s in Your Dugout? Baseball is not meant to be played alone. Every player needs teammates in the dugout, coaches in the corner, and people who will tell them the truth when they’re getting off track. The same is true in life and in faith. The people closest to you will influence your attitude, your […]

Know the Stats or Know the Savior

Know the Stats or Know the Savior:   You can know a lot about someone and still not know them at all. I can tell you that Ken Griffey Jr. had one of the sweetest swings in baseball history, wore #24, and hit 630 home runs. I can tell you that Matt Olson is a […]

Custom Made

Custom Made baseball devotion about being created with purpose and value by God

Custom Made:   Think about an expensive, custom-made baseball glove. Not something pulled off a shelf. This is high-level craftsmanship—premium leather, designed with intention, built for a specific role. Every stitch matters. Every detail is there for a reason. It’s ready the moment it hits the field because it was made right from the start. […]

Opening Day: Trust the One Who Holds the Season

Opening Day baseball field with home plate and chalked batter’s box, featuring the message “Trust the One who holds the season".

Opening Day: Trust the One Who Holds the SeasoN   Opening Day carries a feeling you can’t fake. Fresh dirt. Clean uniforms. Zero losses. Every team starts with hope, but nobody knows how the season will actually play out. Coaches don’t know how their lineup will develop. Players don’t know when they’ll slump or when […]

The Ultimate Comeback

The Ultimate Comeback:   Every baseball fan loves a comeback. Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. Down to your last strike. It looks finished. The crowd starts heading for the exits. But one swing changes everything. Easter is the greatest comeback in history. On Friday, it looked like defeat. Jesus Christ had been crucified, buried, […]

Embrace the Adjustment

Embrace the Adjustment: Spring Training Series – Part 2 (Skill Refinement & Transformation)   Spring Training isn’t just about stamina — it’s about change. A hitter might rebuild his swing. A pitcher develops a new pitch. A veteran adjusts mechanics to extend his career. These changes aren’t cosmetic. They’re intentional. Necessary. Sometimes uncomfortable. Good players […]

I Left It in the Last Inning

I Left It in the Last Inning:   Baseball teaches you something fast — you can’t play this inning worried about the last one. You boot a ground ball. You strike out with runners on. You miss a sign. You hang a pitch. If you carry that mistake into the next inning, it beats you […]
