Runners-up 2026

In the final of the Baseball Bundesliga the Grasshoppers met the Diving Ducks from Wiener Neustadt, according to the club the first all-Lower Austrian final in the top division.

The Hoppers-Field

The club has played on its own field in Traiskirchen since 1998. The site has almost the dimensions of an American baseball field, and the ground has had international approval since 1998. This means the club can also apply to host European Cup games and international championships. The club has announced that a new facility will go into operation in 2027.

How it all began

The idea of a baseball club in the region had existed since 1990, and in 1991 the then Baden Grasshoppers played in the 2. Bundesliga for the first time. A women's softball team was added in 1995, and in 1998 the men were promoted to the top division. The Grasshoppers name 2002 as the most successful year in the club's history: champions of the 2. Bundesliga, winners of the Niederösterreich-Cup and 23 competitive wins in a row.
