Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this organization? DM if want to. Thanks!

They are a rare, high level, 18u. Fully funded. Players from outside the region. More than just four tournament kind of deal.
There is a kid that I used to coach that, at that age, wasn’t considered top echelon, (didn’t get drafted out of high school, didn’t get SEC offers), but was still very very good and headed to a mid Major D1. He played for the Chi Town Cream and did very well. After struggling his freshman year he had a great sophomore year,and he tore up the Northwoods League. Then did even better his Junior year and tore up the Cape Cod league, and was drafted in the 3rd Round
Chi Town Cream was a big help on his journey in facing top competition
Any parents listening, that had a player join Chi-Town for the summer of jun-jul '22, or was on their most recent 18u team this summer jun-jul '23 and can share reviews or offer feedback in a DM? My son is having some discussion about possibly joining Ch-Town for next summer.
Chuck Reeder, a former Chicago Mercantile Exchange trader founded it and he fully funds it. Top ranked team, rave reviews. Follow details on their Facebook page.
@mjd-dad I'm pretty sure we got the same email over the weekend.
How does 18u summer baseball work? I assumed everyone is pretty much done with travel ball after Jupiter with most kids reporting to their school’s summer program late June / early July.
We talked to them before my son's senior year. He would have had to skip his last year of high school baseball. He was tempted but ended up saying he was #loyal.
