Cape Girardeau, Mo. (March 26, 2025)—The Cape Catfish, Southeast Missouri’s beloved collegiate summer-league baseball team, are gearing up for an electrifying 2025 season at Capaha Field, with a commitment to affordability and a roster packed with some familiar returning players, as well as some very talented new ones. 

Club president Glenn Campbell announced today that the Catfish will maintain the same ticket prices for the upcoming season, ensuring that families and fans can enjoy the thrill of summer baseball without breaking the bank. “We understand the importance of providing accessible entertainment for our community,” said Campbell. “Even as costs rise, we are dedicated to keeping the Catfish experience affordable for everyone. We are also keeping our concession stand beverages—soda, beer, sports drinks and water—the same price as last season.” 

Single game reserved seating tickets are $15 each. Single game general admission tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12, and free for ages 5 and under. General admission season tickets are just $159 per person. Prices do not include taxes and fees. Children ages 6-12 can also join the Chick-fil-A Kids Club for $30 and get free admission to all home games.  

Adding to the excitement, the Catfish are thrilled to welcome back 12 returning players from last year’s roster, bringing experience and continuity to the team: Walker Brodt (Winthrop University / Zionsville, Ind.), Noah Gadberry (Arkansas State University / Cape Girardeau, Mo.), Owen Henne (Seton Hill University / Wexford, Pa.), Owen Mandler (Seton Hill University / Smyrna, Tenn.), Hayden Nazarenus (Crowder College / Caruthersville, Mo.), Dylan Peck (Barry University / Fort Myers, Fla.), Jordan Riley (Butte College / Chico, Calif.), Jorge Romero (Western Illinois University / North Hills, Calif.), Moises Rosario (Oakland City University / Santo Domingo, DR), Drew Wedgeworth (Missouri State University / Springfield, Mo.), JJ Williams (Lee University / Franklin, Tenn.), and Dane Zamudio (Cal State Northridge / Sylmar, Calif.). “These players were fan favorites and instrumental to our success last summer. We’re eager to get them back, continue to develop them and make another run at a Prospect League title,” Campbell added. 

Fans can also look forward to a summer filled with unforgettable promotions and special events at Capaha Field. The Catfish are preparing a jam-packed promotional calendar, featuring a variety of themed nights, giveaways, and entertainment that will make every game an unforgettable experience. A full promotional schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
