Where they played last season

This summary is based on the team's opening day roster and will not be revised to reflect roster changes.

This year's Snappers mostly played at Beloit or Elizabethton last summer. That's a pretty strong nucleus; this season should be an interesting outing for Beloit's fans.

Team         League             W/L    Place    Hitters Pitchers
                                     (Teams)
Fort Myers   Florida State (A+) 80/60  1(12)       2       2
Beloit       Midwest (A)        74/62  6(14)      10       5
Elizabethton Appalachian (R+)   42/26  1(10)       8       6
Twins        Gulf Coast (R)     26/27  7(12)       2       4

Many of these players played for two teams last summer and are counted twice in this table; two played at three levels. One of these players appeared briefly on a Double-A roster; another did not play professionally last season.
