Baseball in Grand Rapids (West Michigan)


Player Roster

Players who played for teams in Grand Rapids (West Michigan), Michigan, during its tenure as a Midwest League city. The list begins with the 1991 season and runs through 2007, which fully covers the Grand Rapids/West Michigan franchise history. This list includes all players I can identify, and some of the coaching staff. I plan to add the missing coaches, and other non-playing staff, at a later date.

Players who played in Grand Rapids for more than one season are listed for each season.

421 different players are listed on this page (61 of whom played in the majors), as are 10 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.


This page will, in time, list everyone who wore a West Michigan uniform in a Midwest League game. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's likely that there are omissions and the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.

I will correct errors, or fill in missing birthdates and uniform numbers as I learn of them. Feel free to help; just drop me a line. Thanks.

There's more information about the MWL Roster project on my blog, A Dabbler's Journal.
