Ken Babby, a native of Potomac, Maryland, opened a new era of Jacksonville baseball by becoming Owner and Chief Executive Officer of Jacksonville's Minor League Baseball club in September 2015. Building on Jacksonville's baseball tradition, he introduced the team's new identity as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Nov. 2, 2016.

Babby, 39, is the founder of Fast Forward Sports Group and the youngest multi-team professional sports owner, owning the Akron RubberDucks since October 2012. He was named one of Sports Business Journal's 2016 "Forty Under 40," recognizing excellence and innovation in sports business careers - all before age 40. In 2017, he was named to the Jacksonville Business Journal's 40 under 40, and he was an Entrepreneur of the Year® 2017 Award winner in the Northeast Ohio region.

In the inaugural season as the Jumbo Shrimp, attendance increased by more than 61,000 - the most of any Double-A ballpark and a Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville-record 23 percent - to more than 325,000 for the first time in seven years. The opening homestand of 41,276 was the highest-attended series in the ballpark's history. The Jumbo Shrimp earned the Southern League's Organization of the Year and Promotional Trophy, winning two Minor League Baseball Promotions of the Month.

Babby has invested more than $1.8 million into the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville to add the Budweiser Tiki Terrace, renovate all the private luxury suites on the BDO Suite Level, develop the Hot Corner group hospitality area, expand the suite-level lounge and improve other ballpark areas.

In his first five seasons with Akron, the team moved from ninth to as high as fourth in the Eastern League standings, while welcoming more than 340,000 fans each of the past four seasons since the identity change to the RubberDucks. Babby has also personally invested more than $6 million for improvements to Canal Park. In the second year as the RubberDucks, Akron earned the 2015 Larry MacPhail Award, which goes to the Minor League Baseball team with the most outstanding and creative marketing and promotional efforts. Since Babby's acquisition of the Akron club, the franchise has grown average attendance by 38 percent and in 2016 was the Eastern League nominee for the John H. Johnson President's Award, Minor League Baseball's top award for an organization.

Prior to Akron, Babby spent 13 years in various marketing positions with The Washington Post and its online and social media counterpart, Washington Post Digital. After starting as a summer intern with the newspaper in 1999, Babby rose through the ranks, eventually attaining the position of Vice President of Advertising, and most recently, Chief Revenue Officer of Washington Post Media and General Manager of Washington Post Digital.

Babby's two-fold mission is to create a memorable, unique, affordable and enjoyable fan experience, and maximize the opportunity to create change in the community through charitable, wellness and education initiatives.

He serves on numerous boards in Northeast Ohio. In Jacksonville, Babby is a Trustee Chair of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and on the Jacksonville University Board of Trustees, Jewish Community Alliance Board of Directors, Baptist Hospitals of Florida Board of Directors, and Visit Jacksonville Board. He is also the chair of the Baseball Internet Rights Company (BIRCO), which manages the digital and interactive media rights of its member Minor League Baseball clubs and leagues.

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.
