|---|---|
| Information | |
| Location | Lexington, Kentucky |
| Ballpark | Wild Health Field (2022–present) |
| Founded | 2022 |
The Wild Health Genomes are an American professional baseball team based in Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 2022, they are a member of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an MLB Partner League.[1][2] The Genomes are owned by the same group as the Lexington Legends and will share Wild Health Field, on the northeast side of the city just inside New Circle Road, with the Legends.[3]
Following the addition of the Staten Island FerryHawks as the ninth Atlantic League team, the Genomes were created to ensure an even number of teams for the 2022 season.[3] This is the first time that an Atlantic League "filler" team has had a home stadium, as the Road Warriors were a travelling club during their intermittent stints in the league. Barring the transfer or folding of any current teams, the Genomes are expected to be replaced by a new club in Hagerstown, Maryland, for the 2024 season.[4]
The Genomes made history on March 23, 2022 when they drafted catcher Alexis "Scrappy" Hopkins with the eighth pick, the first woman ever drafted for an on-field role in professional baseball.[5]
