I am not even CLOSE to being an expert but from the looks of these guys, could it be a college or fraternity team of some sort? Maybe an amateur team from an upper class area of the country?
Why I say this is because, from most of the tin types of groups of ball players I have seen from back then, most of the guys are rough and scruffy. But these guys look well coifed and clothed. For the most part, their hair is neat and styled, a few are wearing neckerchiefs and their boots look like riding boots and not just work boots.
Of course, I might be totally wrong (definitely NOT the first that has happened).

Oops, upon closer inspection, it looks like they are NOT wearing boots but nice dress shoes from that time period.
