MAPP Technologies L.L.C. Partners with The Joplin Outlaws
Joplin, MO. (June 8, 2026) – MAPP Technologies L.L.C. (MAPP) is excited to announce our corporate partnership with the M.I.N.K Collegiate Summer Baseball League’s Joplin Jailbirds, whose home field is the historic Joe Becker Stadium, right here in Joplin.
Joe Becker Stadium was originally built in 1913. The original tenants were the Joplin Minors, a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees where Whitey Herzog and Mickey Mantle played. The stadium now hosts the Joplin Jailbirds whose roster includes over 30 players from NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, community college and junior college players, along with talented players who may have exhausted their college eligibility but want to maintain their amateur playing status.
Summer baseball has been a development home for players for many decades. The M.I.N.K. League is composed of teams from Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas—the league started in 1910 with a six-team charter. The Summer Collegiate Baseball League now operates eight teams throughout the midwest. All M.I.N.K League athletes are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility. Each team is operated in a similar manner to a professional minor league team, providing players an opportunity to play under the same conditions using wooden bats, minor league specification baseballs, experiencing overnight road trips, and playing nightly before fans in a stadium.
“Being involved in the community is very rewarding,” said Todd Barnes, CEO of MAPP Technologies. “We are extremely proud of our work with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Missouri, Marine Corps Toys-for-Tots, Ozark Honor Flight, and the Joplin Chamber of Commerce. Now, we’re thrilled to support the Joplin Jailbirds and bring the excitement of summer baseball to our community.”
We invite everyone to come out and cheer on the Joplin Jailbirds, support local talent, and celebrate America’s pastime. Let’s play ball!
