Kinheim baseball team plays in the Honkbal Hoofdklasse, the top level of professional baseball in the Netherlands. The club's most successful period was in the 1990s when it reached the Holland Series five consecutive times from 1992 to 1996. The team lost four of its Holland Series entries, but became Dutch champions in 1994, beating DOOR Neptunus 3–2 in a five game series. In 2006, Kinheim won the Hoofdklasse league and the national cup trophy, the KNBSB-Beker. After beating Mr. Cocker HCAW in the play-offs to qualify for the 2006 Holland Series,[2] Kinheim won the series 3–2 against Konica Minolta Pioniers of Hoofddorp.

Since 2020, Kinheim has fielded a combined team with fellow Haarlem baseball club DSS. Kinheim was relegated from the Hoofdklasse in 2019, and DSS could not participate in the league due to financial difficulties. The partnership allowed the combined clubs to continue fielding a team from Haarlem in the Hoofdklasse.[3]
