MONTINI BASEBALL

A brotherhood built on tradition, effort, and team glory

Montini Baseball is rooted in faith and built on the belief that how we compete matters just as much as the results. Every pitch, every rep, and every moment is an opportunity to live out the values that define our program.

We commit to doing things the right way by competing with integrity, discipline, and respect for the game, our opponents, and one another. Our program challenges young men to grow as athletes, students, and leaders, while holding each other accountable to a championship standard that demands consistency, toughness, and selflessness.

Every day, we pursue excellence through relentless effort, unity, and pride in representing Montini the right way, on and off the field. We are one team, one family, driven by tradition and united by a shared pursuit of team glory.

NEW INFIELD TURF

HOW WE COMPETE

To be the best, you have to beat the best

We believe true development, both on the diamond and in character, comes through consistently facing difficult competition, so when postseason baseball arrives, our Broncos are battle-tested, confident, and ready for whatever challenge lies ahead.

Montini Baseball intentionally builds a demanding schedule full of high-caliber competition; our opponents last season finished with a combined winning percentage of .557. As a proud member of the Chicago Catholic League, one of the oldest and most competitive high school athletic conferences in Illinois with a rich history of producing state-level teams and champions, we face a relentless conference schedule that demands preparation, focus, and resilience every time we take the field. Our annual Spring Break trip is strategically scheduled to enhance our competitive slate by matching our players against strong out-of-state opponents in meaningful games designed to accelerate growth.

Mixed in with all of this is the Do It Stevie’s Way Tournament, a long-standing memorial tournament honoring the spirit of Steven Bajenski and featuring some of the best programs in the Chicagoland area. Our players are tested against elite talent early and often – there are no breaks in our schedule.

OUR MISSION

The mission of Montini Catholic Baseball is to develop young men who compete selflessly for the success of the team. Each player understands the team comes before the individual, and that success is achieved through unity, humility, and hard work. Guided by Catholic values, we compete with integrity, hustle with purpose, and play with respect for the game, our opponents, and all who support us. We pursue growth in mind, body, and spirit, working together toward team glory.
We ground our program in faith, striving to live our values with humility, integrity, and gratitude in everything we do on and off the field.
Montini Baseball is a brotherhood, where players support, challenge, and care for one another as part of something bigger than themselves.
We commit to continuous growth, developing not only better baseball players, but stronger students, leaders, and young men.
We honor the legacy of our school and program by respecting those who came before us and upholding the standard they established.
