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 rebranded back to the Giants.
We are home to professional baseball in South Australia. Each season we welcome fans to our home at Dicolor Australia Stadium in West Beach and host the most fun you can have in summer!
Our season runs from November – February during a typical season.
The baseball is pretty good too. Between our two periods of ABL exististence (1989-1999 and 2010-present) we’ve had 23 players move on the MLB after playing for us. Since the ABL reformed in 2010, we’ve had 12 players move on (more than one per season). That’s the most in the ABL!
These players are:
– Paul Lo Duca
– Steve Mintz
– Luke Prokopec*
– Shayne Bennett*
– Mark Hutton*
– Adam Riggs
– Felix Rodriguez
– Will Brunson
– Pat Ahearne
– Matt Herges
– Jared Weaver
– Brandon Bantz
– James Jones
– Brandon Maurer
– Ji-Man Choi
– Andrew Kittredge
– John Holzkom
– Blake Smith
– Brandon Dixon
– Rocky Gale
– Travis Demeritte
– Aaron Whitefield
– Luke Williams
Adelaide is also home to four Helms Award Winners (MVP) since 2010. They are Jamie McOwen (2011), Aaron Miller (2015), Markus Solbach (2018) and Aaron Whitefield (2020).
