Springfield Drifters Baseball Club

We can’t wait to see everyone this Saturday at Springfield’s The Block Party!

Come say hi to Rapid and get a first look at our brand new headquarters and Drifters Academy building! We can’t wait to share this next step with you all so make sure you stop by!

We’ll also have our inflatables out for everyone to enjoy and will be selling Drifters merch at our booth on 4th St.

Congratulations to Drifters second baseman Cooper Mullens on being named First Team All-WCL!

Mullens made history in his fourth season with the Drifters, hitting .347 with 60 hits and 34 RBIs, breaking the franchise single-season batting average record. This is his second All-WCL honor after being named to the ALL-WCL Second Team in 2025.

Congratulations, Cooper!

Congratulations to Drifters pitcher Michael Klein on being named First Team All-WCL!

Klein was lights out in his second season with the Drifters, finishing with a 1.74 ERA and leading the team with 43 strikeouts!

Congratulations, Mikey!
