We are recognized by USSSA, Perfect Game, Nations & Triple Crown as one of the top 5 programs nationally.

Our instructors/trainers have all played in the MLB or have played College Baseball in some form. The knowledge the instructors bring is unparalleled and can't be matched.

There simply are not enough words to express how grateful I am for having enrolled my son in the Hit Dogs’ High School Development Program this past fall. The exceptional guidance and training from Scott Leonard and his team of coaches was exactly what my son needed to help him achieve his dream of making his freshman baseball team. My son has loved baseball since the first day he stepped up to the plate at age 4. He works his tail off to be the best player he can be, and he has a great head for the game. Unfortunately, though, he did not grow up playing on travel teams like most of his friends. That just wasn’t an option for us when he was young due to financial reasons, and by the time we were able to provide him with that opportunity he was too far behind the rest of the players his age to make any of the teams he tried out for. His continued drive and work ethic finally helped him land a spot on a team at 14U, yet he was reminded daily that no matter how hard he tried, he was still not at the same level as his teammates who had already played travel ball for years. Thankfully I stumbled across an online post this past summer about the Hit Dogs high school program, and it turned out to be the best thing I could have found for my son. In just four months, the Hit Dogs coaches took my son’s game to a whole new level. His skills improved tremendously in a very short amount of time, especially behind the plate thanks to Coach Harrison. The training he received from the Hit Dogs boosted my son’s ability as well as his confidence, and as a result, he was able to secure a spot on his high school team for the upcoming season. If anyone else happens to have a player in a similar situation to ours - one who has the heart and the drive, but not the experience - I would strongly encourage you to look into this program! The joy in my son’s eyes and the smile on his face as he told me he made the freshman team was priceless, and he could not have done it with Coach Scott and his staff!

Great life experience for Tony 'CA'. Exceptional coaches and wonderful loving team family. We all loved being part of this baseball family. GO HIT DOGS!

Only Michigan team to be mention in Travel Ball Select National Rankings top 20! Motor City Hit Dogs 12U come in at #6 and 9U come in at #5 - these 2 ages close to my heart but amazing accomplishment for 13U to come in at #3! So - are we heading back to East Cobb!???

Learn baseball the right way. Excellent program bar none.

Paul Baetz

Chief of USSSA Umpires

This is the BEST travel baseball program in Michigan, bar none. When you look at their player development, list of alumni, and success both on and off the field, this is a program parents should be looking at. I am very, very impressed with what the Hit Dogs have to offer and have accomplished.

Development Program

Superior coaching of the fundamentals, multiple practice facilities and solid parental support are the foundation of this elite program, with the development of players tools being the number one priority.

Little Dogs Academy

The Motor City Baseball Club (MCBC) Hit Dogs 'Little Dogs' program for 5-8 year olds is a development training program that will focus on the fundamentals of baseball at a young age.

College Scholarships

The Motor City Hit Dogs are now up to over 350 players committed to playing college baseball and on scholarship.

The BEST program in the Midwest!

We're coaching baseball right and we're on a mission! We are currently expanding our baseball and softball programs and our #1 goal is to transform kids' development, both athletically and personally, from today's players into tomorrow's leaders.
