Scrapper Fest, presented by 7 17 Credit Union, is designed to get everyone into the spirit of the season, introducing fans to this year's players and coaches, while also providing plenty of family-friendly entertainment, including high-energy bounce houses, professional face painters, and food samplings from the ballpark's concessions as well as Eastwood Mall restaurants. Fans can also get a sneak peek at this season's new merchandise and autographs from baseball's rising stars.

"A New Era for Scrappers Baseball"

While Scrapper Fest focuses on the party at the mall, the organization is preparing for a historic transformation back at the stadium. When the Scrappers take the field on Opening Day, they will be playing at the newly renamed 7 17 Credit Union Field at Eastwood. This naming rights partnership with 7 17 Credit Union, announced earlier this year, represents a fresh chapter for the franchise and fans.

The season opener on June 2 will also showcase the brand-new, state-of-the-art artificial turf that was recently installed, a first since the team debuted in 1999. The high-performance turf is part of a major investment from the team, along with several additional exciting upgrades to be announced soon, all designed to provide a top-tier experience for both players and fans alike.

"Between our partnership with 7 17 Credit Union and the new turf, this season is the start of a new era for Scrappers baseball," said the team's Executive Vice President, Jordan Taylor. "We encourage everyone to come out for Scrapper Fest, have some fun with the family, meet our new players, and get a taste of all the great treats offered not only at the ballpark but from around the Eastwood Mall as well."

The 2026 season is presented by Foxconn. The Mahoning Valley Scrappers are one of six founding members of the MLB Draft League, joining the Aberdeen Ironbirds, State College Spikes, Trenton Thunder, West Virginia Black Bears, and Williamsport Crosscutters. The Scrappers are set to open the 2026 season at 7 17 Credit Union Field at Eastwood on Tuesday, June 2nd against the State College Spikes.
