The Mankato MoonDogs are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team based in Mankato, MN. The MoonDogs, who play their games in Franklin Rogers Park, are a Major League Baseball sanctioned team, and a member of the Northwoods Leagueand have hosted some of the most talented collegiate athletes from throughout the United States and Canada. The MoonDogs are loosely affiliated with the Minnesota Twins who provide organizational support to the team.

Like other summer collegiate baseball teams, the MoonDogs are dedicated and designed to provide minor league level competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The MoonDogs 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. Like all other summer collegiate players, MoonDogs players 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.
