The High Wheelers, a professional baseball team that made a mark last season in Davis, has now found a new haven in the beautiful city of Marysville. This move marks the beginning of a new era for the team as they aim to set new benchmarks in player development, community engagement, and fan experience. With a rich history of baseball in Marysville, home to legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jackie Robinson, the team is excited to be a part of this baseball-loving community.

Bringing Families and Fans Together

This is not just about a baseball team; it's an opportunity to bring families, friends, and fans together to celebrate the great American pastime. In Marysville, the High Wheelers will offer the highest level of pro sports that the city has ever seen. As Bryan Carmel, co-founder of the Oakland Ballers and the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers, said, "In Oakland, we developed a successful model of radical community participation. We are confident we can continue this in Marysville, while also staying nimble enough to consistently improve the player and fan experience. We can't wait to see how our new Yuba-Sutter fans truly make the team their own."

Player Development and Community Engagement

At the new home in Marysville, the High Wheelers are committed to providing exceptional player development opportunities. They understand the importance of nurturing young talent and helping them reach their full potential. Through various training programs and camps, local little leaguers will have the chance to learn from professional coaches and interact with the team. This not only benefits the players but also strengthens the bond between the team and the community.The team's focus on community engagement is evident in their efforts to make Bryant Field a hub of activity. With upgrades like a professional clubhouse, padded walls, and a scoreboard, the stadium will provide a top-notch experience for both players and fans. It will become a place where people can gather, cheer for their favorite team, and create lasting memories.

Financial Support and Partnerships

The city of Marysville will play a crucial role in supporting the team by paying $250,000. In return, the team plans to contribute twice that amount from private sources to help fund improvements to Bryant Field. This collaborative effort shows the commitment of both the city and the team to make this a successful venture.The lease for three years will also serve as a platform for camps and clinics for local little leaguers. This provides a valuable opportunity for young players to learn and grow in a professional environment. It helps to develop the next generation of baseball stars and keeps the spirit of the game alive in Marysville.

New Ownership and Local Roots

The addition of Lon Hatamiya to the ownership group is a significant development. Hatamiya is a Marysville native who has spent his career in public service and the private sector. His local roots and experience bring a unique perspective to the team, and he is dedicated to making the High Wheelers a source of pride for the community.With the High Wheelers now firmly established in Marysville, the future looks bright.
