Team History

Founded in 1993, the Ohio Valley Redcoats were charter members of the Independent Frontier League. The Redcoats, who made their home at Bennett Stump Field, were the first Professional Baseball team to play in Parkersburg, WV since the 1931 departure of the Class C Parkersburg Parkers. The Ohio Valley Redcoats were a strong presence in the league beginning with their first season. The Redcoats' .746 win percentage in 1994 remains a Frontier League record. By the late 1990's, the team struggled on the field. The Redcoats held the league's lowest attendance in both 1997 and 1998, and by the beginning of the 1998 season, Parkersburg was the smallest market in the Frontier League.

Following the 1998 season, the Ohio Valley Redcoats left Parkersburg for Huntingburg, IN. The team was subject to a series fo moves over the next several years.
