Former Mudcat to be the
Head Coach of the Mudcats

Bounds first ex-player to coach Mudcats
Team’s career leader in wins to lead 2018 club
By PAUL STURM, C-T Sports Editor
In a first for the organization in its 17 years of existence, a former Chillicothe Mudcat player will be the team’s head coach next summer.
Caleb Bounds, the Savannah High School graduate and former North Central Missouri College pitcher whose four wins in each of his three summers with the team from 2014-16 make him the Mudcats’ career leader in winning decisions with 12, has been hired by the team’s board of directors to build and lead the 2018 squad.
“Caleb will be a familiar face to Mudcats fans, sponsors, host families, and the MINK League,” Doug Doughty, team general manager, said in announcing the hiring.

Welcome to the site of the Chillicothe Mudcats.  The 2017 season will mark the sixteenth season of Mudcat baseball.  The Mudcats participate in the MINK League (a wood bat league).  The MINK League is made up of teams from Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. During the fifteen years the Mudcats have always had a winning record. 

The Mudcats organization is run by Grand River Entertainment of Chillicothe.  GRE is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to bring family type entertainment to the area.  The Mudcats have been very successful and the community has been very supportive of the team.
