History

East Marietta National Little League won the Little League World Series in 1983 and were coached by Richard Hilton.

The program was established in 1985. Russ Umphenhour, who is an entrepreneur, noticed Baldwin's success with his players and old club. This sparked the idea of building a complex for developing youth baseball players.
