(Eastlake, OH) – Baseball is coming back! Major League Baseball today released schedules for the 2021 minor league season. The Lake County Captains will open their first season as the High-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians on May 4, on the road against the Lansing Lugnuts (Oakland A’s). The Captains’ home opener will be Tuesday, May 11 against the Fort Wayne TinCaps (San Diego Padres).

About the Schedule

The Captains will play a 120-game schedule in the new High-A Central League. The season will run from May 4 through September 19. Lake County’s schedule is broken up into 20 six-game series. Each series will run from Tuesday through Sunday. Every Monday will be a league-wide off day.

Further information regarding ticketing, promotions, game times and health and safety procedures will be announced in the near future.

Because it is likely the Captains will begin the season with reduced capacity, the best way to guarantee seats for the 2021 season is to secure a season ticket plan. To reserve your seats, please contact Kate Roth at [email protected].

Announcements regarding the Captains’ coaching staff and roster are expected in the coming weeks.
