Welcome to the Cincinnati CoBALTS home page. The Cobalts are a Men's Semi-pro Baseball Team that has been ranked Nationally and consistently in Ohio's Top 5.

The Cobalts just completed their 22nd Consecutive Season in 2008 with 35 Wins and another CRC City Championship!

We compete at the highest level of play available to amateur baseball players including the Roy Hobbs World Series, AABC Regionals, Grand Forks International Tournament in Canada, MABL World Series and the NABF World Series.

Titles over our 22 year history include: Quatman Trophy Winners, TriState League Champions, CRC Suburban League Champions, AABC State Champions, Roy Hobbs AAA World Series Champions, Cincinnati RH League Champions in '05 and '06, NABF Regional Champs '06 and '04/'06/'08 CRC City Champs.

Our creed is simple: God gave us only so many years to play this great game, don't waste them playing softball.

Also, please feel free to sign our guestbook to let us know what you think of our site.

REVISED SCHEDULE WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY . 

Cobalts get an 8-3 victory over Thursday night rivals of Yorkville. Wags gets the win. Stocklein goes deep. Nick-o Fritsch recalled to Emergency Cobalt Duty gets 2 RBI as the new 'Balt Skipper is asking himself where the 38 players with uniforms have all gone - and it's only first week of July!

Serious part of season coming up, boys. Find your way to the field!

Next up: Double-Header Thursday at Roselawn

6:30 Chiefs

8:30 Cheviot

Wags and Stock carry the lumber load in another lopsided couple of Wins on a hot Sunday.

And Sunshine Morgan does it all helping the Cobalts improve to 13-0.

Next Up:

Thursday night at 6:30 (Roselawn Park) against Yorkville. 

Cobalts not getting much quality competiton as they steamroll (13-3) another half-clothed squad who think singlets and cut shirts are cool on a diamond...Although they did let Wags know who was Boss!

With the season midway complete, the 'Balts look forward to seeing some of the regular CRC teams who have made the league what it's been for 30+ years - it can't come soon enough.

In the Thursday Night Opener, Ryan Martinez goes yard and Josh Parsons goes the distance to give the Cobalts an 8-3 victory over Clermont....both kids are solid parts of the new-look 'Balts.

Then in double-header action on Sunday, the Cobalts rolled to 16-0 and 7-1 victories.

So Cobalts are 10-0 going into the meat of the schedule. Some good tests are coming soon.

Wags goes Man-Ram with 6 RBIs in a 10-2 victory over the College Royals Sunday afternoon. Chris Sunderman gets the Win and El Vic-a-tor slams the door for the Hold (goat-bearded bone fissures and all).

Also seen at beautiful Hille Park were Deuce Hock, Danny Bell, and "Marge" Dietz....good to see the fellas!!!

In typical fashion this season, Game 2 was a total and complete wash-out. So, out came Coach's stash of Natches and good times were had by all.

Cobalts are 7-0 in 2009 with many games to make-up.

Bombs by Wags and TT lead the offense in 8-1 and 10-0 double header vistories on Sunday over the Cincinnati Creds.

Morgan and Wags split time in Game 1 on the hill and give up only 1 run.

Then Detective Mackey, err Keith Becker, returns to the hill to dominate in game 2.

Next up: Champions Academy, Weds 6:15 at CNE.

In a Sunday DH, the Cobalts rolled over the Clermont Zaps behind the heavy lumber of TT, Stock, Daddy Hat, Josh morrow, and Mr Akers (HR).

Paully and Morgan showed the youngsters how the 'Balts do it Old School on the hill in game 1. Then New Dude Sunderman got the W in game 2.

Next up for the 4-0 Cobalts:

Receptions 8:45pm at Roselawn 

Two quick 10-run rule victories for the Cobalts in their season opening double-header with the Cincinnati Royals.

Hits were many. Pitching stellar. Sunshine so excited he broke the new SEXTING laws and sent his stats with pictures....shewww!

Also, the New Dudes that Coach Taylor recruited sound so exciting!

Your Cincinnati Cobalts will open the 2009 campaign this Sunday, May 24th at 1pm with a DH at Hille Park.

(NOTE THE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS POST) 

This year's squad will be led by Tom Taylor with help from Mike Daddy Hatfield.

Pack a cooler and come on out to beautiful Hille Park in the heart of South Cummingsville this Sunday to cheer on the Cobalts as they begin another march on a championship year!

As advertised, Mark "Coach" Dietz has officially retired as active manager of the Cincinnati Cobalts Semi Pro Baseball Club. I will now start over and establish the 4-Year Old "Semi Pro" Tee-Ball Cobalts (Lord help me).  

But the Big 'Balts are in the capable hands of Player Coach Tom Taylor and will go into Year #23 with all guns blazing toward another NABF World Series title run.

The Cobalts are in the midst of setting their schedule within the competitive CRC Thursday/Sunday League.

Look for some new faces to be sprinkled in with the old cast of characters on this year's squad.

I would like to thank the thousands (yes, thousands) of Cobalt Players who donned our uniform and took the field for me over the span of 3 decades. It has been an honor and a lot of fun (mostly) to go to battle with all of you.

I'll be watching. And don't ever forget: Once a 'Balt, Always a 'Balt!!!

cheers,

Coach (out)

Cobalts took home the hardware Friday night in the Cincinnati City Championship Tournament with a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Hawks. Big offensive night from Brian Stoecklein, Mikey Taylor, and Mike Hatfield.

The pitching staff was once again impresive! This time it was young lefty Jacob Campbell going 5 innings and then Shannon Morgan finishing the last two of scoreless work. All told in the Tournament, the 'Balt Staff only gave up a measley 3 runs to the top teams in Greater Cincinnati....wow!!!

And, behind every great pitching performance is great dish work and Jason Cohill gets extra props for catching four-of-five games in the Tournament - tip of the cap to the iron man - especially in this heat.

Tip of the cap also to the Hawks who fought their way thru the deep loss-bracket to make it to the City Finals. Good luck to them as they represent Cincinnati in the Buckeye Championship Tournament in Akron!

So the City Champ Cobalts will take a well deserved break until the NABF Regionals begin Thursday night at Roselawn Park. Competition will be gunning for us, we know, so the 'Balts will have to bring it every inning of every game - sounds like fun!!!

Cobalts Championship Victory was their 30th of the 2008 campaign and stand 30-5.
