Since 2011, the Pecos League has proudly shone a spotlight on the players based in cities without Major or Minor League Baseball teams.
An independent baseball league operating in cities in desert mountain regions throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, the league requires a variety of income sources to enable its future growth and prosperity.
To do this, they sell tickets, sponsorship, and streaming broadcasts, using Stack Streaming as a way of growing their digital revenue.
The league is split into a Pacific Division, which has all of its teams in California, and a Mountain Division, which covers all non-Californian teams.
A total of 16 teams competed in 2024, and this number is expected to grow with the addition of new expansion teams as the league grows in popularity and resources – including the Kansas City Hormigas next season.
During the league’s proud recent history, several players that have featured in the Pecos League have gone on to play at MLB level.
As Andrew Dunn, owner and commissioner of the Pecos League, explains, the league remains loyal to Stack Streaming and its commitment to providing a high-quality, fan-orientated digital experience which helps engage a more global audience than ever before.
The Pecos League model
During the season – which runs for approximately three months in the spring – all home teams broadcast their own matches, which are linked up to the Pecos League website.
Streaming passes, priced at $7 per game, are available for audiences who are unable to get to games in-person.
Last season, all 432 games were broadcast by the Pecos League, in addition to special events which took place throughout the season.
The standard of streaming setups may vary, with some teams opting for a higher-end streaming approach which includes the use of instant replays. Where there is less resource at a specific club, they may opt to use a one-phone setup, providing basic, HD coverage of their fixtures.
What they said
The Pecos League has seen much change in recent years, through the coming and going of teams, players, and officials.
But in Stack Streaming, the league has a partner which gives them the platform to work with all expansion clubs to maximize their digital revenue and exposure.
“The Stack Streaming platform fits our model, with each team having their own channel and each game having an event,” Dunn said.
“There are 1000’s of platforms that attempt to get us to change to their own service, but we hope to continue using Stack Streaming for many years to come.”
