RBI Impact
The RBI program has made a lasting impact by creating life-changing opportunities for young athletes, helping many advance to college and professional baseball and softball. Since 1989, the program has produced more than 200 MLB draft picks nationwide, with many others earning college scholarships. Macon RBI continues to build on that legacy, providing local athletes with opportunities to grow, compete, and succeed both on and off the field.
Our athletes demonstrate growth not only in skill, but in leadership, sportsmanship, and mental strength, preparing them to succeed at competitive levels and in life beyond the game.
