The Pioneer Baseball League has announced significant changes to its lineup for the 2026 season, with three new teams joining its 12-team roster. The Modesto (Calif.) Roadsters, the Long Beach (Calif.) Coast, and the RedPocket Mobiles will be the new faces in the league next year.
Among these additions, one stands out as particularly unusual. The RedPocket Mobiles don't have a home ballpark and will play all 96 regular-season games on the road. This unprecedented arrangement makes the Mobiles a unique addition to the league's structure.
In contrast, the other two new teams - the Modesto Roadsters and Long Beach Coast - will continue a tradition nearly as old as the league itself. These California-based teams will provide local fans with regular home games at traditional ballparks, following the standard format that has been a staple of baseball organization since the league's early days.
The addition of these three teams marks another evolution in the Pioneer Baseball League's ongoing development. With the inclusion of the road-only RedPocket Mobiles alongside the traditionally-based Modesto and Long Beach franchises, the league demonstrates its willingness to experiment with different operational models while maintaining conventional baseball operations for other new members.
