NO DESIGNATED HITTER IN PECOS LEAGUE

Despite the ire that it raises among its many dedicated opponents, use of the designated hitter has spread to most baseball organizations. You’ll find it in leagues from the high-school level and up. Even in some youth leagues.

But not in the Pecos League … not since 2011, its first season of operation. The only time a Designated Hitter was used in the Pecos League was in the 2nd half of the 2012 season. But it was removed from 2013 and has never been used since.

The arguments for and against are pretty standard.

Proponents say that it increases offense by taking a (usually) weak-hitting pitcher out of the lineup and provides additional roster flexibility. Managers can rotate the DH role among part-time players or they can employ a full-time designated hitter against all pitchers. It also allows them to give a healthy everyday player a partial day off, or to give an injured player the opportunity to bat without having to play in the field. It also means a player who is a poor fielder and/or old enough that he is no longer ef

By Carter Cromwell

Rod Tafoya is old enough to have retired from his career as a banking executive, but his baseball career just keeps going, and going . . . and going.

When the 56-year-old lefthander takes the mound for Salina in a Pecos League game August 7, he’ll be going for the 450th win in a career that began in the Mexican winter league in 1986, wound through a couple of years in the U.S. minor leagues and then many more in semi-pro and Mexican and independent U.S. pro leagues.

“I go where the games are,” he said.

For him, the games have been all over the U.S. map, plus Mexico. He last was in North Carolina in mid-July pitching – and winning – for the East Coast Weekenders in the Old North State League.

This year marks the fifth decade in which he’s pitched. By his accounting, he’s played in 671 games for 176 teams and has a 449-93 lifetime record – much of that in the Men’s Senior Baseball League. He estimates that he’s thrown at least 80,000 pitches. He is a Hall-of-Fame honoree for both the MSBL and National Baseball Semi-Professional assoc

Yermin Mercedes has been called up

Yermin Mercedes has been called up to the active Major League Roster and is set to make his major league debut with the Chicago White Sox. Mercedes spent the entire 2014 season in the Pecos League with the Douglas Diablos and White Sands Pupfish.

Mercedes was signed as a free agent by the Baltimore Orioles and then drafted as a minor league Rule 5 free agent by the White Sox after leading his Orioles minor league teams in many offensive categories.

In 2019 between Between the AA Birmingham Barons and AAA Charlotte Knights last season, Mercedes hit .317 with 19 doubles, 23 home runs, and 80 RBI in 95 games. He also accumulated four home runs with nine RBI before spring training activities were suspended. The 5-foot-11, 235 pound Mercedes ranked among the organizational leaders in slugging percentage (2nd, .581), average (3rd), home runs (3rd), RBI (3rd), and on-base percentage (3rd, .388)

The White Sox play in Kansas City against the Royals today before moving to Milwaukee for a three game series against the Brewers.

[BILL ROGAN STORY] By Carter Cromwell With entries for ballplayer, coach, radio/TV announcer, sports talk-show host, author, front-office employee and manager, Bill Rogan’s resume is hardly one of the monolithic, straight-from-A-to-Z variety – albeit with the common thread of baseball running throughout it.

“I’ve been flexible enough to try a lot of different things,” he acknowledged recently after a day doing play-by-play for Pecos League games in Houston. “Luckily, I’ve been able to be involved with baseball in almost everything I’ve done.”

At the moment, Rogan’s role is that of play-by-play announcer for the Pecos League games taking place in Houston. Rogan, who managed the league’s Tucson team last season, had been slated to manage the Santa Fe entry in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic forced the league to eliminate much of the schedule and take four teams to Houston and play a shortened schedule over July and August.

“When the Santa Fe team was shut down, (Pecos League Commissioner) Andrew (Dunn) asked me if I wanted to manage another team.” Roga

The Best Hat in the Pecos League (Tucson Saguaros)

When pr

By Carter Cromwell

When professional baseball returned to Tucson in 2016 in the form of the Tucson Saguaros, the core fan base was happy. What some could not get used to was the team logo an image of a saguaro cactus with a vertical trunk and an arm stretching horizontally across it.

"People thought it was terrible, said Pecos League commissioner Andrew Dunn. Ive probably done 35 team logos in conjunction with a consultant, and almost all of them have been well received. But this one did not get good reviews initially. I had a friend with the (San Diego) Padres who said it looked like a cross like a religious symbol.

Dunn said that a lot of people wanted him to revive the nickname and logo of the Toros, the team in Tucson from 1969-2011.

But, Saguaros it was. And guess what? In time, its become the most popular logo in the Pecos League, even more so than those of teams in Santa Fe and Roswell, NM.

While specific figures are unavailable, Dunn estimates that Tucson sells 50% more caps alone than the next-best seller. He estimates about the same difference for t-shirts and jerseys, as well.

If nothing else, the saguaro cactus is appropriate as the Tucson teams logo, since its emblematic of the arid region in which Tucson is situated. The largest cactus in the United States, it is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert and is found exclusively there.

The plants are large, tree-like columnar cacti that develop branches (or arms) as they age, although some never grow them. Arms increase the plants reproductive capacity, as they lead to more flowers and fruit. The arms generally bend upward. Saguaros can grow to between 10 and 50 feet tall and be as large as 30 inches in diameter.

Saguaros are covered with protective spines, which are very strong and may cause significant injury to animals. There was one report of a bighorn sheep skull being penetrated by a spine after the sheep collided with a saguaro. The spines can also cause severe injury to humans, being as sharp and nearly as strong as steel needles.

The saguaro has white flowers in the late spring and red fruit in summer. Given the proper growing conditions, it is estimated that this particular cactus can live to between 150 and 200 years old.

After the saguaro dies, its woody ribs can be used to build roofs, fences, and parts of furniture. The holes that birds nested in - saguaro boots - can be found among the dead saguaros. Native Americans used these as water containers long before canteens were available. The ribs can also be used as livestock fodder.

A saguaro can absorb and store considerable amounts of rainwater, visibly expanding in the process, while slowly using the stored water, as needed. This characteristic enables the saguaro to survive during periods of drought. When rain is plentiful and the saguaro is fully hydrated, it can weigh between 3,200 and 4,800 pounds.

Refurbising of Coastal Baseball Park

(REFURBISHING OF COASTAL BASE

(REFURBISHING OF COASTAL BASEBALL PARK) By Carter Cromwell



The Pecos League began a new season on June 20, and the opening took place at a ballpark that had a new atmosphere.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the league has taken five of its Eastern Division teams, condensed the season into two months and is playing all the games at the Coastal Baseball Park in Houston. And anyone familiar with the facility could be forgiven for not recognizing it right off the bat.

The ballpark has undergone a major makeover over the last several months, including:

  • New turf
  • A new batting eye in centerfield
  • A 12-foot fence
  • A re-worked infield
  • New bullpen areas
  • Significant work on the parking areas


It was a three-month project and involved a ton of labor, said Andrew Dunn, the Pecos League commissioner and owner of the facility. In the current environment, there is no other park in which we can play no other place to go.

Dunn purchased the land from Freeway Baptist Church and opened the ballpark in 2007. The facility is situated on 17 acres in the most southern portion of the City of Houston/Harris County. The property has two fields, which enables the league to play more games in a day and, thus, condense its season into a shorter time frame.

Coastal Baseball Park hosted its first game in May 2008. Originally, the park featured an artificial mound, but this was replaced 2009 with one of clay. The design was for artificial turf on the infield and a natural-grass outfield that needed little maintenance. The turf on the original infield was from the University of Arkansas football practice field in Little Rock.

Weve replaced that now with the turf from Baylor Universitys football field, Dunn said.

Coastals second field opened for the 2010 season and has the old Cincinnati Reds MLB outfield fence. The field was resurfaced in 2014.

We have one of the few Batters Eyes in the Houston area, Dunn said. This gives hitters great visibility.

Dimensions of the main field are 323 (left field), 409 (center field) and 307 (right field). In addition to the Pecos League, numerous Houston Area teams from the Continental League (2009) and Hudson River League (2018) have used the facility. Several Houston Astros players used the facility to film their sponsorship ad campaigns.

This years refurbishing was not the first for the ballpark. Coastal Park has had many major upgrades previously, including installation of a clay mound that meets major-league specifications, brick dugouts, a brick backstop, addition of speakers, addition of brick walkways and batting cage.

The new ballpark is hosting the Trinidad (CO) Triggers, Santa Fe (NM) Fuego, Roswell (NM) Invaders, Tucson (AZ) Saguaros and Salina (KS) Stockade. Except for off days on Tuesdays, there will be games each day until near the end of August.

We really needed to get going and play, Dunn said, and we made sure the ballpark was ready.

Coastal Baseball Park was the site of the experimental 62.5 foot mound in 2019 Pecos Spring League.

BestBatDeals.com Tucci Axe Handles

This is Axe Bat"s claim that the AXE Handle is better than the traditional round knob:

For more than 140 years, players everywhere have been swinging bats with a major design flaw: the round knob handle. You could consider it outdated design, but it was never designed in the first place. It was the best that could be mass-produced on simple wood lathes, the same centuries-old tools used to make table legs, candlesticks, and cookware. Simply put: the handle was never intentionally designed for the player’s grip… until now. We designed the better bat.

The Pecos League is aware of the rapidly changing developments regarding COVID-19. The Pecos League was originally scheduled to have a 64 game regular season start on 5/27/2020 and end on 8/1/2020 with 12 teams in 6 states. This will not happen.

The Pecos League has adjusted its season to a 48 game season with a start date to July 1, 2020 with an end date August 16, 2020 assuming it is deemed safe by local governments to play with fans at this time.

The other option the Pecos League may have to consider is to have four teams play in one location. No travel, no hotels and likely limited fan interaction would occur. But the players who need to play in the 2020 season would be able to play.

"There are 12 cities in the Pecos League and there are 12 different opinions, two of the cities have said no baseball in 2020. We will adjust and if possible play a 48 game season beginning July 1."

The league will be limited to lighting not to pass 11:00 pm and the league is responsible for staffing the facility during team games, events and other uses but not limited to security, concessions, guest services, coaches, players, and officials. They are also allowed to have promotional advertising up from May 15 until August 31 with City Manager approval.

The team will begin play at City Field beginning on June 2 and the Teams website can be viewed at http://www.PittsburgAnchors.com

The Pittsburg Team will play in the Pacific Division along with Martinez, Santa Cruz, Bakersfield, Wasco and Monterey. We are excited to play the 2020 season in Pittsburg, I believe it will fit perfectly with the other five cities in the Pacific Division.. The people in Pittsburg have been extremely welcoming and City Field will instantly be one of the top parks in the Pacific Division. The Pittsburg Anchors will finalize their coaching staff soon, sad Pecos League Commissioner and Owner Andrew Dunn. Pecos Teams play in cities that do not have Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is not affiliated with either.
