Bat Kids

The Wareham Gatemen Baseball Organization is looking for bat kids for this upcoming season. All bat kids must be age 10 or older. Bat kids will be provided a Gatemen shirt to wear during the game. The season is 40 games, 20 home and 20 away.

Being a Gatemen bat kid is a fun experience and gets you an up-close view of the game and direct access to the players and coaches.

Please contact Gatemanbatkids@gmail.com if you’re interested.

Thank you for your interest in our Bat Kid program! We have 12 Bat Kids per season which means Bat Kids usually volunteer 1-2 days per week. We ask that families are able to commit to the team 1-2 days per week during the summer. If you are interested in your child being a Bat Kid for the 2025 season, please contact us between January-April 2025. Thank you, and go Gatemen!
