Skeeters Honored with Two Atlantic League Club Awards

October 20, 2016 - Atlantic League (AtL)
Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release


The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB) today announced Swatson, the Sugar Land Skeeters mascot, is the 2016 Mascot of the Year. Winners for the ALPB post-season awards were selected through voting from club managers, executives and media.

Swatson has been an integral part of the Skeeters organization and is one of the most recognizable faces in community and marketing initiatives. His interaction and engagement with fans during each home game brings a constant energy to Constellation Field. The bright green mosquito is recognized for entertaining the home crowd each night with his creative skits, his interaction with visiting players, coaches and his playful humor with fans in attendance. The Skeeters won the 2016 Atlantic League Championship and recently Swatson and Skeeters executives took part in a trophy tour around the Sugar Land community, allowing fans to take pictures with the championship trophy and spend time with their favorite mascot.

"Swatson is one of the most recognizable mascots in Sugar Land and the surrounding communities," said Skeeters president Jay Miller. "He spends countless hours representing the Skeeters organization in a positive manner and is the best at entertaining our home fans during games at Constellation Field. He is truly a fan favorite and we are proud of his accomplishments."

Zach Bohls, mascot coordinator for the Skeeters, oversees all activities for Swatson. The 25-year old Texas Tech graduate schedules all of the mascot's appearances in Sugar Land and the surrounding communities. Swatson makes over 200 appearances each year which includes visits to schools, senior living communities, local businesses, non-profits, hospitals, day care centers and many more. His marketing efforts for the Skeeters organization and presence within the community helped Swatson earn the title of MascotInsider's Minor League Mascot of the Year earlier this season, a title based on fan votes. Swatson becomes the second ALPB Mascot of the Year following the inaugural award presented to the Long Island Ducks organization in 2015. Fans can follow Swatson at sugarlandskeeters.com or on his Facebook page.
