The Adelaide Giants are one of the foundation members of the original Australian Baseball League (ABL). We rebranded to the Adelaide Bite on the return of the ABL in 2010. In 2019 we restored our traditional moniker. Go Giants.
We are home to professional baseball in South Australia. Each season we welcome new and old fans to our home at Dicolor Australia Stadium in West Beach to experience the magic of baseball.
Our season runs from November – February during a typical season.
In 23 years of professional baseball in Adelaide (1989-1999 and 2010-present), we’ve had 26 players move on the MLB after playing for us. Since the ABL reformed in 2010, we’ve had 13 players move on (more than one per season). That’s the most in the ABL!
