The backbone of the RailCats Tradition of Excellence is a winning history on the field that has included two Northern League Championships and four straight Championship Series appearances. The success on the field also means that the RailCats have been able to produce a long line of polished baseball players who have gone on to compete at baseball’s highest levels.

The RailCats have sold the contracts of 20 players to major league teams since 2002, including two – Tim Byrdak and Nathan Haynes – who have since played in the major leagues. There were four other RailCats – Willie Glen, Jose Yepez, Chad Blackwell and Todd Martin – who joined Byrdak and Haynes as active players in the affiliated ranks last season, with Glen earning All-Star accolades in the Double-A Southern League. And in December, the RailCats sold the contract of Northern League All-Star Tanner Townsend to the Florida Marlins, where he’ll get a chance to join his former teammates on the road to the big leagues!
