Louisville Bats Schedule 2026
Louisville Bats Seating Charts
Louisville Bats baseball puts Triple-A right on the Louisville riverfront, with Reds hopefuls only a phone call from the majors. In 2025, the Bats went 71-79 in the International League, 18 games back of champion Jacksonville, then surged late with an 11-game win streak. Map out your next game night with Event Tickets Center and watch the pipeline up close under the lights.
As the Triple-A MiLB affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, Louisville is the last stop before Cincinnati Reds games call for a fresh arm or a bat. Manager Pat Kelly guides a roster that can change overnight, and 2025 proved it with eight Bats reaching the majors, including Chase Burns and Sal Stewart. The lineup kept pressure on pitchers with 277 doubles, showing why Triple A baseball in Louisville feels like a live scouting report.
The Louisville Bats' stadium experience centers on Louisville Slugger Field. This downtown park, which opened in 2000, now accommodates roughly 11,500 fans following recent seating adjustments. You get a clean sightline to the Ohio River and the city skyline, plus the kind of between-innings bits that make Triple-A feel personal. Keep an ear out for Buddy Bat roaming the concourse, ready for photos and a little mischief when the seventh-inning stretch hits.
Louisville’s lone International League baseball crown came in 2001, when the club, then the RiverBats, was declared the Governors’ Cup champion after the postseason was canceled. Today’s path runs through the split-season format, so the Louisville Bats schedule always has two races built in, and the 2025 group went 39-36 in the second half to show real traction. Circle the I-65 clashes with Indianapolis Indians, because those series can swing the West standings in a hurry.
If you want a summer night that feels close enough to hear the infield chatter, Louisville delivers it with quick innings, sharp defense, and a crowd that knows its baseball. Check the promo calendar, pick a rivalry weekend, and arrive early for batting practice along the rail. On this roster, today’s leadoff hitter can be tomorrow’s call-up.
