The Hitmen Story

Founded in 1991 by the late Brian P. Rangel, the Quad City Hitmen have distinguished themselves as one of the premier youth baseball organizations in the Midwest. Entering into their 18th season, the Hitmen have showcased our Quad City youth to hundreds of teams across the United States, and have been recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union and the United States Sports Specialty Association for outstanding performance and sportsmanship.

To date, the Hitmen have garnered four national championships:

13 year old USSSA title in 1997 in Richmond, Virginia
11 year old USSSA title in 1999 in Kansas City, Missouri
10 year old Super Series title in 1999 in Omaha, Nebraska
13 year old USSSA title in 2006 in Canton, Michigan

The Hitmen have also placed in the nation's top 5 eight times, and have captured an AAU State title and nine USSSA State Championships. Since 1991, the Hitmen have garnered over 100 titles.

A special thanks goes out to our parents for allowing your sons to be a part of the Quad City Hitmen. Every success enjoyed by our organization is rooted in the hard work and commitment of the young men and their parents.

The Quad City Hitmen wish your sons and the entire family a wonderful experience and hope that you will enjoy baseball to its fullest this summer!
