I signed up for the free baseball class and then posted a question on the Q&A board about whether it would be possible to earn credits for the course. Here is the response from former Dodgers outfielder Reggie Williams:

It would seem the college credit version is called "UNIV 3542 Baseball in America" and is a paid course. It falls in the "thematic courses" in the U of M catalog within the College of Professional and Liberal Studies https://www.memphis.edu/cpls/resources/thematic_studies.php
