[edit] Team Bio

Founded in 1976, The Everett Merchants are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team playing in the Pacific International League. The Merchants play their home games at the Everett Memorial Stadium in Everett, WA, home of the Everett Aqua Sox, the Single A Northwest League afffiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

The Everett Merchants are like other summer collegiate baseball teams, in that they are dedicated and designed to provide minor league level competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Merchants are somewhat unique in that there are also several rehabilitating professional players on the team Roster. Former Professionals who play with the Merchants must also meet NCAA eligibility requirements.

The Everett Merchants operate in a similar style to an Independent Minor League team: actively recruiting players, playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment, and experiencing road trips between games. Seattle Studs athletes remain unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players. Over 100 former studs have gone on to play Major League Baseball.
