11 Years of honoring Austin
This year marks eleven years since we lost Austin and his love for the game along with the impact he had on everyone who knew him still drives this tournament forward. The Austin Gorrell Baseball Classic was created to honor who he was both on and off the field and to continue the opportunities he would have wanted for young athletes. As we begin the eleventh annual tournament, we remain committed to celebrating his legacy in a way that reflects the passion, energy, and character he brought to the game.
Continuing His Legacy
Each year, teams from across Southern California come together not just to compete, but to play with heart — just like Austin did. The tournament raises awareness and funds to support local athletes, scholarships, and community causes that reflect Austin’s spirit.

off like this game will never end for us some day.
I have learned that it can happen..."
