A new summer baseball franchise is set to debut in Nacogdoches in May 2026, as the Mid America League expands into the city. The team will play home games at Jaycees Field within Pilgrim’s Park—home to the SFA Baseball Complex—sharing the venue with Stephen F. Austin’s collegiate program. The announcement follows a naming contest with over 900 submissions, with finalists expected soon. The expansion underscores increased year-round utilization of SFA Baseball Complex facilities and collaboration between the university, city, youth sports organizations, and the league.
