Team Bio[edit]
The Brazos Valley Bombers are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team playing in the Texas Collegiate League. The Bombers debuted in 2007 as an expansion team to the TCL, playing their home games in Bryan, TX. The Bombers are named after the Bryan Bombers, a Class C team based out of Travis Field that played in the Lone Star League from 1947- 1950. The Bombers have been very successful since joining the TCL, winning five straight league crowns. The 2013 team was named Summer Collegiate Team of the Year by Perfect Game.
The Bombers, like every other Summer Collegiate Baseball organization, are dedicated and designed to provide minor league-style competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Brazos Valley Bombers operate in the model of a Minor League team: playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment, and experiencing road trips between games. The Bombers actively recruit players. Brazos Valley athletes are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
