Mahoning Valley Scrappers
The Mahoning Valley Scrappers are a collegiate summer baseball team of the MLB Draft League. They are located in Niles, Ohio, a city in the valley of the Mahoning River and play their home games at 7/17 Credit Union Field at Eastwood. From 1999 to 2020, they were a Minor League Baseball team that played as members of the New York–Penn League. The club was the Class A Short Season affiliate of the Cleveland Indians from its inception until Major League Baseball's reorganization of the minors following the 2020 season.
In 2004, the Scrappers won the New York–Penn League championship.
he Mahoning Valley Scrappers were established in 1999 in Niles, Ohio, as a Class A Short-Season franchise in the New York–Penn League. The team originated when the New York–Penn League’s Erie SeaWolves franchise relocated to the Mahoning Valley following expansion in the Eastern League. The Scrappers were affiliated with the Cleveland Indians (now Cleveland Guardians), serving as a developmental team for newly drafted players entering professional baseball.
The franchise made an immediate impact in its inaugural 1999 season, finishing with a 43–33 record and winning its division before advancing to the league finals. Early success helped establish strong local support, with the team drawing over 200,000 fans in its first season.
Throughout the early 2000s, the Scrappers remained competitive within the New York–Penn League, highlighted by consistent attendance and periodic playoff appearances. The franchise reached its peak in 2004, when it captured the New York–Penn League championship; the only league title in team history.
Over more than two decades as a Minor League Baseball affiliate (1999–2020), the Scrappers developed numerous players who went on to Major League Baseball careers, reinforcing the team’s role as a key entry point for professional prospects.
Following Major League Baseball’s reorganization of the minor leagues after the 2020 season, the Scrappers lost their affiliated status. Beginning in 2021, the team transitioned into a founding member of the MLB Draft League, a collegiate summer league designed to showcase draft-eligible players.
Today, the Scrappers continue to operate in Niles, Ohio, playing at 7/17 Credit Union Field at Eastwood (formerly known as Eastwood Field), maintaining their role as a developmental platform for emerging baseball talent.
