One of the best to wear a River Turtles uniform. Watching our former players find success climbing the baseball ladder is one of the most rewarding aspects of the @AppyLeague. 👊 #turtlepower
"What I think is special about the Appy League is it gives [you] the first look at what pro ball is going to be like." - Ryland Zaborowski
Zaborowski hit .372/.500/.694 with the Pulaski River Turtles in 2022, earning a spot on the #AppyLeague All-Star team. Now, following a monster 2026 summer, the @Angels prospect is continuing to showcase his talent in the @MLBazFallLeague!

It’s the offseason in the #AppyLeague, but our clubs are as active as ever! From hosting gatherings and charity events at the ballpark to visiting career fairs and book drives in the community, to us, it’s about more than baseball.
Throughout September, Appalachian League clubs volunteered more than 400 hours and provided more than $260,000 in-kind! 💙⚾️

Postseason bombs that send the ballpark into a frenzy? Kam Jenkins (@KamJenkins22) knows a thing or two! 💣
Jenkins went 5-for-9 with two home runs, one double, one triple, and four RBI during Pulaski’s playoff run this summer. His championship game cycle was the first in #AppyLeague history!

After an incredible and memorable 2026 season, it’s time to recognize the best of the best. #AppyLeague Honors Week kicks off this afternoon with Humanitarian of the Year!
Let’s take a look at our nominees ⬇️
An epic performance on the biggest stage. We're gonna miss you, Kam! #turtlepower 💪👊
“It was honestly great. Facing these college arms, it’s what I wanted to see coming here. I’m going to Troy, so hopefully we get to Omaha again and just keep dominating.” - Kam Jenkins
Jenkins made history on Saturday, becoming the first player to hit for the cycle in the #AppyLeague championship game!
