Welcome to the MNMillers 2025 Campaign

Great things happened in 2024 for the MNMillers, and a bright future is forecasted for 2025.
The MNMillers took part in a demonstration before Rochester Honkers baseball game to spread awareness about beep baseball.
View the Rochester KTTC news story about the MNMillers.

The 2025 campaign is bringing back all the players from 2024 and who helped the MNMillers elevate their ranking in the National Beep Baseball Association team standings.

Having finished 16th in 2023, the MNMillers with its advanced defense and consistent offense finished out the 2024 season 13th in the nation.

Led by Evan Van Duyne, Riley Schmitz and Josh Xiong the team is striving for success in 2025.

Each year, the MNMillers rely entirely on both public and private donations for the team to attend the World Series of beep baseball.
In 2025, the MNMillers are hoping to compete in St. Louis Missouri, during the week of July 20 – 27, with the other affiliate teams of the NBBA to determine a champion.
We ask your help and assistance in making a donation to the 2025 campaign for players to compete among the best athletes in the World.
Affiliate teams of the NBBA taking part in the 2025 World Series will span the United States and Taiwan.

For more information regarding donations or the team, send an email to the MNMillers at info@mnmillers.org.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support for the team.

Giving Tuesday, 2023

The Minnesota Millers would like to thank all our supporters for the 2023 season/campaign. Without your support the MNMillers would not have had the opportunity to spread the awareness for and about beep baseball in the state of Minnesota.

Giving Tuesday kicks off the campaign for contributing to the Minnesota Millers and the 2024 season.
Think about a contribution for a player to take part in both the Bolingbrook regional beep baseball tournament being held June 7-9, 2024 and the NBBA Beep Baseball World Series July 21-28, 2024 by donating $1,500 for the team or a specific individual.

All donations are tax deductible as the Minnesota Millers are a registered 501©3 organization. Earmark your contribution for a specific player on the team. The 2024 roster includes:

  • Pat Lemke #5
  • Riley Schmitz #9
  • Evan Van Duyne #11
  • Eric Harmes #15
  • Tori Andres #18
  • Josh Xiong #21
  • Stephen Guerra 24
  • Kyle Kuhlman #57
  • Todd Paulson #88

Your contribution to the Minnesota Millers or a specific player for the 2024 season will allow the individual/team to focus on training and making the season a success.

Minnesota Millers 2023 Season Round Up

The Minnesota Millers would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported the team in 2023.
Special thanks to the Lion’s clubs of Multiple District 5M who graciously contributed to the 2023 campaign.
The MNMillers would also like to thank all the private donors who contributed to a go-fund-me campaign launched late in our season to assist those on our team in participating in the 2023 Beep Baseball World Series held in Norman, Oklahoma.

The Tournament

During the week of August 1-4, 2023, had the highest temperatures that the beep baseball World Series has ever seen in its history.
Thankfully, the MNMillers despite the conditions returned home with no injuries to the players or our dedicated volunteers.
The MNMillers record does not reflect the performance made by the players on the field. The team had nine games in four days, finishing with 2 wins against 7 losses and finished 16th in the tournament out of a possible 19 teams.

First Trip

The MNMillers with our new pitcher Kent H and rookie Tori A made the tournament a success.
Kent having not pitched beep baseball, previously in a national tournament, worked through the conditions and still performed with excellence. Tori as a rookie contributed both on and off the field to the success of the team.
Thank you Kent and Tori for being part of our team and welcome to the MNMillers family.
