[edit] Team Bio

The Edenton Steamers are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team playing in the Coastal Plain League. The Edenton Steamers, who debuted in 1998, finished dead last in their inaugural season and did not make their first playoff appearance until 2004. The Steamers have since hosted collegiate athletes from throughout the United States. The Steamers play their home games in the Historic Hicks Field in Edenton, NC. Like every other Summer Collegiate Baseball organization, the Steamers are dedicated and designed to provide minor league style competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Edenton Steamers operate in the model 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 Steamers actively recruit players, and continue to improve their roster year by year. Edenton Steamers 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.
