In pursuit of new players, the association will host a come and try day from 12.30pm at Gipps Street Playing Fields on April 6, featuring a free barbecue and jumping castle for families.
Association president Robert Handsaker told the Leader the come and try day would be a "very family friendly event".
"Being involved in the Tamworth baseball community is like being involved in a big family," Handsaker said.
"It's a very warm, welcoming environment and we would love to have some new members come into the fold."

Handsaker said any interested potential players did not need previous experience in the sport to play.
"Baseball is so much fun that it can become quite addictive," he said.
"Some of my best friendships have come from my 30 plus years in baseball.
"So it would be great to see any men or women who might be interested get involved and give it a go."
Saturday's event will also act as a trial day for Tamworth's country baseball championships squad.
"We are absolutely welcoming of people who have never played the game before," Handsaker said.
"There are some really talented, experienced players in our ranks, who are more than happy to help teach new-comers and they will be on display on Saturday for anyone who is keen to have a look and give baseball a go."
