Welcome to the site of the Chillicothe Mudcats. The 2018 season will mark the seventeenth 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 sixteen 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.

Players from the Chillicothe Mudcats spent Thursday morning volunteering at Community Outreach. Here, they are packing bags of food to be distributed through Community Outreach of Nevada. Pictured are, from left: Chris Cabral, Josh Urps, Tyler Hansen, Bryce Bisenius, Tanner Baker and Kody Gardner.
