2025 Parkview Sports Medicine Baseball Classic Schedule Set
Parkview Field to Host 24 Local Schools in April and MayFort Wayne, Indiana (February 26, 2025) — Parkview Field, the home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps, will host a dozen high school and college baseball games, featuring 24 local teams, this April and May as part of the annual Parkview Sports Medicine Baseball Classic. Matchups will feature rival teams from around Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. The action will take place while the TinCaps are playing on the road. See full schedule below.
“Parkview Sports Medicine is proud to continue to partner with the TinCaps, supporting our area schools and offer student-athletes an opportunity to compete at a world-class facility like Parkview Field,” said Candice Dunkin, Director of Sports Medicine at Parkview Health.
Thanks to Parkview Sports Medicine’s sponsorship, the games are taking place at no cost to the participating schools. As in the past (the series of amateur games in downtown Fort Wayne started in 2014), the student-athletes will receive professional treatment at Parkview Field, like having their headshots displayed on the video board.
“Parkview Field is more than TinCaps baseball,” said TinCaps President Mike Nutter. “The ballpark hosts special events year-round and we appreciate Parkview Sports Medicine for helping us make the PSM Baseball Classic an annual staple for our community. The high school baseball talent in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio continues to rise and we’re happy to help put a spotlight on these phenomenal student-athletes, coaches, and schools. And who knows when we may see some of these kids back here on their way to the big leagues in Minor League Baseball playing for or against the ’Caps.”
One local product, Josh VanMeter, who grew up in Ossian and played for the TinCaps in 2014 and ’15 on his way to Major League Baseball, recently helped launch the PSM Baseball Academy, a new premier baseball training program with upcoming camps, private lessons, and group programs.
