After the JetHawks spent the last eight years as an affiliate to the Houston Astros, they will now be a stepping stone for one of the deepest farm systems in the league.
As young players develop in hopes of one day reaching the majors, they will now have the chance to play for the Lancaster JetHawks. For the last 12 years, former Rockies passed through Modesto, which will now host future Seattle Mariners.
The JetHawks have a very lengthy history that dates back to 1955. Before officially becoming an Advanced-A level club, they were known as the Reno Silver Fox.
