NIKE BASEBALL CAMP FAQ

For general questions about our baseball camps please see our FAQ page.

The Sports Field Management Association and Springfield Cardinals have announced that Hammons Field, the home of the Springfield Cardinals, has been named the 2024 Professional Baseball Field of the Year. The SFMA Field of the Year honor is awarded to the best natural grass field among all 120 teams across all levels of affiliated Minor League Baseball. As decorated as Hammons Field has been since opening in 2005, this marks the first time that the Springfield Cardinals have won this particular prestigious Field of the Year award.

The stadium is unique due to its baseball specific outbuildings. The stadium currently has two large buildings just outside the right-field walls. The larger of the two serves as a fully furnished indoor practice facility complete with astroturf, batting cages, and a small diamond for drills. The smaller building serves as administration, including General Manager offices, as well as housing both home teams' clubhouses, a cardio workout facility, and the physical trainer's office
