Grande Prairie Pirates looking to add more fastball-specific diamonds
Members of the Grande Prairie Pirates fastball organization are requesting the city look into converting some baseball diamonds into fastball diamonds as we draw closer to ball season.
On Tuesday, members of the Grande Prairie Pirates presented to a city committee regarding converting some of the baseball diamonds to fastball-specific diamonds.
The call for more diamonds comes as the Pirates organization has tripled in size since 2019 – with over 200 members and more expected to join.
Pirates Executive Director Ashley Porterfield says there are a few minor tweaks they would need to make to some diamonds if change were to happen.
