Marysville Drakes

The Marysville Drakes are an American professional baseball team based in Marysville, California, United States. They compete in the Pacific Division of the Pecos League, an independent baseball league which is not affiliated with Major or Minor League Baseball. The Drakes have played their home games at Bryant Field since 2023.

2022–2023: Development
Before 2023, the city of Marysville was home to the Yuba-Sutter Gold Sox from 2002 to 2022 and ended operations due to lack of return on investment as well as ownership abandoning the team, leaving it in permanent hiatus and making Bryant Field abandoned.

Entering into the year 2023, the Marysville Drakes were admitted into the Pecos League. Attempts to find a home for the Drakes to play, the Drakes Organization worked with the Marysville City Council, Highlands Community Charter School, as well as the community to fund the introduction and upkeep of a new professional baseball team, ultimately proposing a deal to occupy the vacant Bryant Field. The final deal allowed funding for a stadium renovation, including re-painting the outfield fence, re-doing the pitch and field, and remodeling the dugouts of the stadium, as well as allowed the local Highlands Community Charter School to use the facilities for 3 years (2023–2026).

2023–present: Pecos League
Starting the 2023 season, the Drakes appointed manager Bill Rogan, a manager that managed from 2018. The Marysville Drakes began their inaugural season and home game against the Dublin Leprechauns on May 25, 2023, which resulted in a 26–6 win in the bottom of the 9th. The Drakes, resulting in a 27–22 record, missed the playoffs by one game.

On February 23, 2024, Bill Rogan and the Drakes announced their continuation into the 2024 season. Furthermore, Bill Rogan introduced the Drake's new batch of jerseys, designed by himself.
