2022 Elizabethton River Rider Zach Thornton became the fourth Appy League alum to debut in the Major Leagues, starting for the Mets at Nationals Park on May 20.
The Appalachian League is proud to announce a league-wide partnership with Cell Phones for Soldiers aimed at supporting active-duty military members and veterans throughout Appalachian League communities.
The Appalachian League will expand its exhibition schedule against the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team to play six games over three days between June 27-29, with twin bills against the Stars and Stripes teams.
To begin the 2026 season, 133 Appy League alumni are assigned to clubs in affiliated ball, including two (Jordan Leasure and Kyle Karros) in the Majors and six in Triple-A. All 30 teams have a former Appy League player in their system.
After reaching the Majors in August, third baseman Kyle Karros followed it up in an impressive Spring Training to earn an Opening Day roster spot with the Colorado Rockies. The 2021 Greeneville Flyboy got a hit on Opening Day and followed that up with a steal in both the second and third game of the year.
