About the Front Range League

The Front Range League is entering its third summer for the 2027 season. 

We offer inexpensive family fun wrapped around some of the best collegiate summer baseball in North America.

We are continually seeking new markets and are dedicated to professional and ethical treatment of fans, players, coaches, game day staff, interns and community partners. 

In each market we are committed to community service and being a tourism driver in each region in which we operate.

About the Wranglers

The Morgan County Wranglers were born in the fall of 2025 with the cooperation of the Morgan County School District. After a runner-up finish in 2026, the decision was made to relocate the team to Greeley, Colorado and Butch Butler Field for the 2027 season and rebrand as the Greeley Wranglers.

​

With a 48-game season, the Wranglers anticipate 24-28 league home games each summer, along with special fundraising and exhibition games sprinkled in. 

​

Our mission is to build a quality of life community asset in the Greeley and Weld County communities and offer the very best in family fun all summer long.

Join us!

About your management team

Our mission statement is best quoted from Peter B. Freund, CEO of Diamond Baseball Holdings - we couldn't put it any better:

"The number of people that we an impact on a nightly basis is what's important to me. The number of people who come through our ballpark, the number of memories that we can make for families inside a community is what really matters."

About your Head Coach
James Gruenfelder

I began my coaching career at Hood College, my alma mater, where I have served as the recruiting coordinator, catching coordinator, pitching coach, and assistant hitting coach. My time at Hood has allowed me to grow as a coach while developing my approach to working with players and helping them improve both on and off the field. Last summer, I joined the Nebraska Outlaws, now the Johnstown Outlaws, as an assistant coach in the Front Range League.

 

My first season in the league ended with a Front Range League Championship and gave me valuable experience working with a coaching staff and competing through the grind of a full summer season. I am excited to take the next step in my coaching career as the head coach of the Greeley Wranglers. My experience in the Front Range League taught me how to handle adversity, manage playing time, work alongside a staff, and find ways to win throughout a long season.

 

I look forward to bringing those lessons into my first head coaching opportunity while creating a competitive environment where players can develop and enjoy playing the game. I am excited to build a strong culture with the Wranglers and compete for another Front Range League Championship.
