Oakland Deserves Better
As longtime die-hard Oakland sports fans, we know firsthand that our city is one of the most electric fanbases in the world. That said, we’ve received a raw deal for decades. First, the Warriors moved to San Francisco, then the Raiders moved to Las Vegas, and now the Athletics will do the same. The city needs a sports franchise we can truly call our own.
Meet the Oakland B’s
Introducing a team as loyal as its fans: The Oakland Ballers have joined the MLB-partnered Pioneer League with the sole purpose of generating joy for our fans. We’re already creating new and engaging fan experiences by reviving Oakland’s baseball legacy.
7.8M+ Potential Fans
Oakland is one of the 10 largest sports media markets in the country1. This gives us a unique opportunity to build a community-oriented baseball experience in a major league city. During year one, our first game sold out, and nearly 100,000 came to our home games. We have removed the wall between players, owners and fans. We consistently hear from fans that they love the experience and they’re excited to come back to the ballpark.
What’s the Pioneer League?
Established in 1939, the Pioneer Baseball League (PBL) is the perfect sandbox for our Ballers to innovate their game and engage fans while building their careers.
Knockout Round
Home Run Derby style knockout round in place of extra innings.
Automated Balls and Strikes
We are showcasing the future rules of baseball including and automated balls and strike review process.
Fan Controlled Baseball
On August 31 the Ballers take the field at Raimondi Park for the first fan controlled baseball game since 1952 - putting fans in the drivers seats for decisions that impact the gameplay and the fan experience in the ballpark.
Talent, Merch & More
Major League Experience
Our EVP of Baseball Operations, Don Wakamatsu, is a 30-year baseball veteran with a world series under his belt. Our manager has a world series ring. Our pitching coach played in the Bigs. And we have Kelsie Whitmore, the first female ever signed to an MLB-affiliated team.
Legendary Location
Home of the Ballers, Raimondi Park is located close to public transport and major roadways. Raimondi is known to have hosted some of America’s first integrated baseball games. We built a temporary 4,100 seater stadium at the park earlier this year.
A Lifestyle Brand
Designed by the world-renowned Dustin Canalin, merchandise is everywhere in Oakland these days. We have partnered with Oaklandish, the top apparel brand in Oakland. Our merch drops frequently sell out in hours. Now, gross sales are on a trajectory to exceed $1M in our first year. We’ve attracted nearly 50 new sponsors in year one.
144% Social Media Growth
Our online presence is quickly demonstrating the power of the Baller fanbase. Our social media following has grown from 9.9K to 22.9K+ followers, a 144% climb, with an 80% average impression rate and 21% average engagement rate.
