A Home Run Collection: Every Hallmark Baseball Movie Ever Made
Hallmark baseball movies hold a special, though limited, place in the network’s film library. There are few of these films, and probably for good reason. Creating the excitement and thrill of a major league baseball game is a tough feat, especially on Hallmark’s budget and limited filming schedule.
The Perfect Catch (Hallmark Channel – 2017)
In this charming romantic drama, single mom Jessica (fan-favorite Nikki DeLoach) finds her life turned upside down when her former high school sweetheart (Andrew Walker) – now a famous baseball player – returns to town. As they team up to save her struggling diner, the sparks that once flew between them reignite. This film combines small-town charm with a sweet second-chance romance.
Hearts in the Game (Hallmark Channel – 2023)
Diego Vasquez (played by Marco Grazzini) is a professional baseball player trying to clean up his image after a career-altering mistake. Enter Hazel (Erin Cahill), a savvy publicist who just happens to be his ex. Tasked with rehabbing his reputation, Hazel must navigate unresolved feelings and a media circus – all while keeping Diego’s career on track. This story delivers emotional depth, career dilemmas, and romantic tension.
The Groomsmen: Second Chances (Hallmark+ – 2024)
This Hallmark+ original tells the story of Danny (Jonathan Bennett), a former pro baseball player who is trying to find the courage to admit his romantic feelings for his best friend, when he is asked to be the best man at his wedding in Greece.
We’d consider this one more “baseball-adjacent” than a true sports film—it focuses primarily on Danny’s personal life and his journey to find love, with baseball serving more as a backstory. He’s known to be a former pro athlete, but the sport itself plays a minimal role in the actual plot.
Why Doesn’t Hallmark Have More Baseball Movies
Producing sports-themed movies comes with unique challenges, particularly when trying to realistically portray the intensity of the game. This is likely why we often see Hallmark baseball stories focused on retired players or those involved in the postseason, where the high-stakes action can be conveyed without the need for expensive, large-scale game scenes.
Hallmark and the Boston Red Sox: “Christmas in July” at Fenway Park
On July 1, 2025 – Hallmark Channel and the Boston Red Sox will turn a summertime baseball game into a holiday spectacle. Fans attending the game at Fenway Park will get to experience a festive Hallmark holiday takeover complete with themed photo ops, exclusive giveaways, and a ceremonial first pitch by a Hallmark star—all as part of the Red Sox’s special “Christmas in July” celebration.
