Wilmington Sharks

The Wilmington Sharks are an American baseball team in the East Division of the Coastal Plain League (CPL), a collegiate summer baseball league. The Sharks play their home games at Buck Hardee Field at Legion Stadium in Wilmington, North Carolina. Buck Hardee Field is more commonly referred to as "The Shark Tank."

The Sharks have over 15 Major League Baseball alumni including all-star Alec Bohm.

The Sharks were founded in 1997 as a pioneer member of the Coastal Plain League. The Sharks won the Petitt Cup Championship in 2024, and won the championship in 1998 and 1999 Pre-Petitt Cup.

Peter B. Freund of the Trinity Sports Group purchased the team in 2013 and later resold the team in 2014 to Smith Family Baseball Wilmington, LLC.

On March 2, 2017, National Sports Service acquired the team from the Smith Family Baseball Wilmington, LLC. The 2017 season was the Sharks’ 20th season in Wilmington.

The Coastal Plain League announced on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 that the Sharks were named the 2019 Coastal Plain League Organization of the Year.

On January 29, 2024, the Sharks announced Brett Bloomquist as their new general manager. Bloomquist played for the team in 2008 as a left-handed pitcher, and has earned degrees from Appalachian State University and the University of Florida.

Washington, DC-area entrepreneur Thad Parsons purchased the Sharks in early 2025.
