History

Formed in 2016, the Salina Stockade were originally part of the Pecos League.[1][2]

In 2017 Salina Stockade joined the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, which is not affiliated with Major or Minor League Baseball, to replace the Laredo Lemurs, which folded.[3]

The Stockade played the 2017 season as a road franchise, with only sixteen home games at Dean Evans Stadium.[4][5][6]

The team played a similar schedule in 2018, traveling to play each of the six teams in the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball.

In 2019, the Stockade joined The Western League a four-week Winter organization, as a charter team. On March 31, 2019 it was announced that they would traveling to play each of the teams in the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs.[7]

In 2020, the Stockade returned as a member of The Western League, and played games out of Bakersfield, California. It was later announced they'd be activated for the 2020 Pecos League season; the Stockade will compete as one of four teams in the Mountain Division for the condensed 60-game season (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). All games will be played at Coastal Baseball Park in Houston, Texas.
