Now in its ninth year, PONY's Pinto International Baseball Classic is the premiere event for 8U baseball teams in the Midwestern United States. The 2026 Classic will be held in Marion, IL.
International and stateside players from 16+ teams will compete for this coveted title in Marion, IL, in 2026. Games will be played at Oasis Sports Complex as well as Mtn Dew Park. Come out to see these young players compete for the title of Pinto 8U Champions.
International participants have included the 2019 tournament champion Aruba, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, Panama, China, Japan, and Indonesia. These teams' participation has created a competitive blend of local and international teams in this exciting pool play and double-elimination tournament. We have also welcomed highly skilled U.S. PONY teams from California, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, as well. All of the Pinto International Baseball Classics have had fun-filled weekends, and we hope you join us in 2026.
