Top Tier Baseball is excited to announce Chris Tierney as Vice President of Business Development. Tierney is well-versed in the amateur baseball space and has deep roots in the industry, having led operations for several clubs in the Chicagoland area.
Tierney, now a member of the Top Tier front office, will lead national growth opportunities and business initiatives alongside Founder and CEO Todd Fine.
“We’re thrilled to add Chris and his industry-leading experience to our executive team,” said Fine. “He’s proven in the amateur baseball landscape and will help Top Tier expand its national footprint through growth and business development.”
A Chicagoland native, Tierney earned All-State honors at Lockport Township High School. He was a seventh-round draft pick of the Kansas City Royals in 2001, forgoing his commitment to Arkansas, and played 10 years professionally before establishing himself in the travel baseball space.
“Top Tier Baseball boasts an incredible brand,” said Tierney. “The program has long been the industry standard and it’s exciting to be part of that.”
Tierney will work closely with both current and future satellite programs across the country. Top Tier Baseball now has programs in 10 states, spanning from California to New York, with Illinois serving as its flagship state.
“I’ve always had a lot of respect for the guys who have been part of the Top Tier program,” said Tierney. “I’m excited to be around like-minded individuals with the common goal of strengthening the brand at the forefront.”
About Top Tier Baseball
Top Tier Baseball started in 2004 with one 18U team. That team became a national brand, quickly, traveling the country and showcasing its talent in prestigious tournaments. That team went on to win 40+ games and featured future big leaguers, John Ely, Joe Benson, Tanner Roark, Rob Scahill and 11 more draft picks.
Top Tier has evolved since its inception to one of the elite amateur baseball organizations in the country. The strength of our program lies in our commitment in developing players and building confidence through hard work and dedication. This very commitment has manifested itself on the diamond in some of the largest and most prestigious tournaments in amateur baseball.
In 2024, Top Tier's 17U Select team took third in a highly-competitive USA Baseball National Team Championship tournament.
