About the Pecos League

The Pecos League is an independent baseball league which operates in cities in desert mountain regions throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Pecos Teams play in cities that do not have Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is not affiliated with either. Pecos League Teams sell tickets, sponsorships, tickets, concessions and streaming broadcasts as their revenue.

In the original 2011 season, the Pecos League was based along the Pecos River from Alpine, Texas to Roswell, New Mexico. The Pecos League has two divisions which stretch from the plains of Kansas to the Oceans of California to the Mexican Border of Texas. In 2017 the Pecos League moved to California and broke into two divisions. From 2011–2017 the Pecos League signed players to Pecos League Contracts. In 2018 Congress passed Saving America's Pastime Act Bill which required all leagues that contract their players to pay minimum wage to their players. This no longer allowed the Pecos League to contract their players, but actually increased the money the players received. Effective in 2018 players would receive money from baseball camps, 50/50 raffles and team activities.

Currently, there are two divisions in the Pecos League, A Pacific Division which has all of its teams in California and a Mountain Division which covers all non California Teams. Tucson has rotated between Mountain and Pacific Division every year they have been in the league since 2016. The Tucson Saguaros play in Kino Stadium which is considered the number one stadium available to independent baseball in the entire country.

The Pecos League added the Kansas City Hormigas for the 2025 season. The Hormigas play in historic Satchiel Paige Stadium on the Missouri side of Kansas City. The Hormigas roster is entirely comprised of Mexican, Cuban, and Venezuelan players whose rights are owned by the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol. These are younger players that do not make the major league teams in Liga Mexicana under the age of 22. The in park broadcast of the games in Kansas City are in Spanish and the team has created their own Mariachi Band that plays live music while the games go on.

In 2024 six of the teams in the Pecos League play in California which is the entire Pacific Division. The Pecos League bought the San Rafael Pacifics in 2019 and moved them into the Pecos League in 2021. The Pecos League is the only league in the World that does not use a DH maintaining 2019 National League Rules with the pitcher hitting. Teams in the Pecos League wear solid color tackle twill jerseys no white or grey. Players are required to use MLB approved bats. Rawlings is the official game ball and the only game ball permitted in Pecos League Games. The Pecos League has a custom Rawlings Ball made known for its durability and longevity. The Pecos League has been selling these balls to public since 2012 and are very popular amongst College Baseball Programs.

The league's high power offenses are fueled by high altitudes and smaller ballparks. The Mountain Division of the Pecos League is home to high altitude baseball where our average elevation is 4870. Our players come from all over the US and all over the world and are a combination of rising stars, falling stars, shooting stars and athletes with stars in their eyes. Our communities take tremendous pride in their teams.

The Pecos League has a 22 man roster with no DH used in games. Each team roster has 9 experienced players and 14 rookies. The Pecos League Regular Season is nestled in the middle of the summer from May 22 – July 28. This timing leads for increased fan participation and support.
