The Mississippi Mud Monsters are a professional baseball team based in Pearl, Mississippi. The team competes in the Frontier League (FL) as a member of the West Division in the Midwest Conference, and will begin to play as an expansion team starting at the league's 2025 season. The team will play its home games at the Trustmark Park, a 8,480-seat stadium which was previously the home of the Mississippi Braves of the Southern League.

History

[edit]

On September 9, 2024, the Frontier League announced that it had awarded an expansion franchise to Pearl, Mississippi after the Atlanta Braves’ Double-A affiliate, the Mississippi Braves, announced their intent to relocate to Columbus, Georgia.[1] With the addition of the new franchise, there will be professional baseball in Pearl for the 21st straight year, following 20 years of the Mississippi Braves.[2]

The team is owned by Joseph Eng.[3] Andrew Seymour was named general manager in December 2024.[3]

On January 13, 2025, the Mud Monsters announced Jay Pecci as their inaugural field manager for the 2025 season.[4]

On January 20, 2025, the Mud Monsters announced their first three player signings for the inaugural 2025 season.[5]

The team debuted with the name "On Deck 2025," the placeholder name until the name was chosen.
