The Seacoast Mavericks is a collegiate summer baseball team located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is a charter member of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL), a wood-bat league comprising 9 teams from New Hampshire to western Connecticut.
The team is owned by Dave Hoyt, a former minor-league player for the Minnesota Twins and the owner and operator of USA Training Centers in Newington. This facility runs a youth program called the Mavericks Club, from which the team took its name. Mike Daboul is the Director of Baseball Operations and Sean Evans is the General Manager.
Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Bob Stanley is president of the club. Stanley gives lessons at USA Training Centers on a part-time basis.
In 2011 and 2012, the Mavericks played at Bert George Field in Rochester, the ballpark of Spaulding High School on the north side of the city. The club invested $50,000 to build new dugouts and seating areas and make other improvements to the ballpark. Earlier, the club had studied Marshwood High School in South Berwick, Maine as a home.
The inaugural year started with tragedy as player Adam Keenan collapsed and died of heart failure after the team's first practice. The Mavericks finished the year with a record of 10-33, in last place in that year's four-team league.
In 2012, the FCBL expanded to 9 teams, recruiting the Old Orchard Beach Raging Tide and the North Shore Navigators away from the similar New England Collegiate Baseball League. These two teams joined the Nashua franchise as rivals just over an hour's drive from Rochester. The regular season was expanded from 44 to 54 games and a semifinal round was added to the playoffs. The team finished in 8th place with a regular-season record of 20-33.
