About the Mississippi Mud Monsters

Baseball Lives Here. It Just Got a Little Weirder.
The Mississippi Mud Monsters are a professional baseball team based in Pearl, Mississippi, competing in the Frontier League as a member of the West Division in the Midwest Conference. We officially joined the league as an expansion team ahead of the 2025 season — but make no mistake: we’ve been stirring the waters here for a while. We believe baseball should be unapologetically fun, a little weird, wildly welcoming, and deeply rooted in the places we call home. This is swamp-built, Mississippi-made magic — and this season was only the beginning.
