Veteran minor league baseball executive Jim Pfander was named president of Fast Forward Sports Group LLC - comprising the Akron RubberDucks and Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp - in October 2015. An Akron, Ohio, native and Ohio University graduate, he has been General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the Akron franchise since October 2012.

After serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Aeros in 2011, Pfander was the first executive hired by team owner and Fast Forward Sports Group founder Ken Babby after the latter bought the club. Under Pfander, the Akron franchise has risen into one of the Minor League Baseball's premier franchises. In 2016, Pfander was named the Eastern League Executive of the Year.

During the new ownership's first season in 2013, the then-named Aeros posted a franchise-record single-season attendance increase of nearly 12 percent. Following the season, Pfander led a company-wide identity change from the Aeros to the RubberDucks. The ensuing 2014 season at Canal Park saw the club reset its attendance increase record, jumping another 15.7 percent to a total of 350,704 and bringing the team from ninth to fourth in the Eastern League ranks. In the club's first two seasons as the RubberDucks, Akron hosted 23 sellouts and more than 340,000 fans in consecutive years for the first time since 2007-08.

Pfander has overseen large-scale additions to Canal Park, including a $1.65 million HD video board (one of the largest in Minor League Baseball), The Game Grill + Bar high-end restaurant, the Fowl Territory picnic area, the Tiki Terrace and Tiki Bar group areas, the exclusive, special-event Duck Club and other stadium improvements.

Pfander also started several special events at Canal Park, including the Ballpark Festival of Beers, Movie Nights, Fourth on the Field, and the Mini Golf Tournament. Akron's blend of special events and fun ballpark promotions, to go along with the creative concessions, including the Extreme Foods Menu, helped it earn the 2015 Larry MacPhail Award, which goes to the Minor League Baseball team with the most outstanding and creative marketing and promotional efforts.

In 2016, Akron hosted the Eastern League All-Star Game and Home Run Derby for the first time, saw an increase of more than 10,000 in attendance, and the team won its fifth Eastern League championship. The RubberDucks were nominated by the Eastern League for the Minor League Baseball's top award, the John H. Johnson President's Award, which goes to the most "complete" baseball franchise.

Pfander began as an intern in the Cleveland Indians broadcasting department in 2000; other stops during his 17-year career include various positions with teams in Charleston, S.C.; Brockton, Mass.; and Spokane, Wash. Before rejoining Akron, Pfander spent the 2012 season as the General Manager of the Charlotte (Fla.) Stone Crabs, where he also oversaw Tampa Bay Rays spring training and hosted the Class-A Advanced Florida State League's All-Star Game.

Pfander resides in Akron with his wife, Page, and daughters, Olivia and Ella.
