In 2024, the Badlands Big Sticks begin our next chapter as members of the Northwoods League. The Northwoods League is a summer collegiate wood bat league founded in 1994 with 26 teams across seven states and one province. The league has produced over 300 Major Leaguers in its 30-year history. Founded in 2018, the Badlands Big Sticks have provided family-friendly fun and entertainment, along with great baseball to Dickinson and the surrounding communities. We are proud to represent the people of Western North Dakota and exemplify the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt.
