Note from the SC State Director
I would like to Welcome to our Home Page for Nations Baseball in South Carolina. As State Director for Nations Baseball in South Carolina, it is my task to ensure that each player in our tournaments receives a quality experience in competitive baseball. We strive to keep that in the forefront of every decision we make.
We are here to encourage Player Development. Although, Nations Baseball does not endorse a pitch count, we highly encourage each coach to keep mind of pitchers and their well being. With the player being the forefront of our decision making process, we schedule our games with the opportunity to allow the boys to play as much baseball as possible. Our tournaments for 2012 will always involve a "TRUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME".

It is our philosophy to provide the best possible facilities, officials and competition level that we can. I think you will find our Facilities to be above standard. The majority of our officials have NFHS certification or higher and many have NCAA and NAIA experience. We understand that the quality of the facility and the quality of the officials are what makes are tournaments such an enjoyable experience. We strive to keep the brackets competitive, meaning that each team in the bracket should have equal opportunity for success.
Carolinas Baseball Group (CBG) is the governing authority for Nations Baseball in South Carolina. CBG is a not for profit organization that promotes baseball. CBG cannot financially support each team that plays baseball, but we can assist each team by keeping the cost to a minimum.
Thank you for playing Nations Baseball in South carolina,
Jerry Byars, State Director
