Big Jim
Jim Jadwin, a mainstay of American Legion Baseball, was instrumental in putting together the Chillicothe Post 757 American Legion Baseball Program in 1969 after his own baseball career ended.
Jim, a former catcher, played 6 years in the Cleveland Indians minor league system ending his career at AAA Indianapolis.
With Jim’s leadership and guidance, Post 757 Baseball players have received more than 65 college scholarships and seven professional contracts.

Seeding
Seeding is based on win/loss record, In case of a tie in points between two or more teams, the following tiebreaker system will be used to determine the seeding of the teams:
-
- Head-to-head record between the two teams that are tied for the final spot (head-to-head record only applied if tie is between two teams).
- Fewest runs allowed between the tied team/s.
- Highest total run differential; NOTE: Total run differential is the sum of each game's differential.
- If there is still a tie, then the teams which are tied will come down to a coin toss.
