\u201cThe amateur baseball talent around the Fort Wayne area is truly better than ever,\u201d said TinCaps President Mike Nutter. \u201cAfter missing out on last season, we\u2019re so happy to give local kids the chance to play on the same field that\u2019s produced MLB stars like Fernando Tatis Jr. These games will also to be helpful to our staff as we ramp up to the TinCaps season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since opening in 2009, Parkview Field has hosted amateur games nearly every year, though the games scheduled for 2020 were canceled due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n
