Welcome to Swing City where our mission is to instill the core values of the game through complete player 

development.       

Swing City was created by long-time baseball player and coach, Joe Maskivish, with the goal of giving young players an opportunity to become the most well-rounded men and women, on and off the field.

Swing City provides a unique opportunity to be in a baseball atmosphere that believes in the simplicity of the game, allowing the athlete in the player to come to the forefront.  Make no mistake - analytics, metrics, and data-driven technology have allowed players to make great strides, but the little things that made the greatest players great are being sacrificed.  We get   back to the basics along with stressing the mental side of the game to give your athlete the most organic approach in becoming their very best.  Swing City would love to be part of your baseball journey and together we can achieve and exceed your goals.
