"We are happy to present the 2024 schedule to our fans and clubs, and look forward to a summer full of great baseball and entertainment in the stadiums across our league," said American Association Commissioner Joshua Schaub. "Our brand of 'play to win' baseball and the addition of pitch clocks last season, which shaved nearly 30 minutes off average game times around the league, makes our games the perfect entertainment option for casual fans and hard-core baseball fans. It is going to be another tremendous summer in the American Association."
