9/20/2015-The Salina Stockade will be an expansion team in the Pecos League of Professional Baseball Clubs for the 2016 season. The Pecos League is an independent professional baseball league which operates in cities in desert mountain regions throughout New Mexico, Southern Arizona, Kansas, West Texas and Southern Colorado. Pecos Teams play in cities that do not have Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is not affiliated with either. Our communities take tremendous pride in their teams. The Pecos League has promoted 282 players to higher independent and affiliated teams from 2010-2015.

Players are signed from Pecos Spring League, Hudson River League, Pecos League Tryout Camps, and Major League Baseball Scout Referrals. Pecos League players are 25 years old and younger. The Pecos League Regular Season is nestled in the middle of the summer from May 20-July 27. This timing leads for increased fan participation and support. In the 2013 season 44 Blue Productions followed and filmed the Trinidad Colorado Triggers. In May 2014, Fox Sports 1 Network launched and one of the first ever shows was a six-part documentary about life in the Pecos League, mostly based on Trinidad Triggers.

The Stockade will play 11 home games in historic Dean Evans Stadium beginning on May 21. The Salina Stockade will wear Navy and Royal Blue Jerseys and be in the Northern Division of the Pecos League with Garden City, Topeka, Great Bend and Trinidad Colorado. The field manager for the Stockade is Justin Thompson. The Stockade will be selling group ticket nights and sponsorships. The Stockade will also seek host families for their players.
