Off-Season Boulders Update

Big things are happening for the team, even in the off-season!

New Turf for the Home Turf

The New York Boulders have announced that they will be playing on a brand new, state-of-the-art DoublePlay  Natural surface being installed by The LandTek Group that includes the infield and warning track, along with portable pitching  mounds, when the new Frontier League season gets underway on May 7th, 2026. 

Town of Ramapo Supervisor Michael B. Specht said “Adding turf to Clover Stadium is about more than better field conditions — it’s about creating safer, more reliable opportunities for kids, leagues, and special events while deepening our valued relationship  with the NY Boulders. Together we’re investing in community pride and economic activity for years to come.” 

Boulders general manager Rob Janetschek added “We’re incredibly excited to bring turf to our ballpark this offseason. This  upgrade is a game-changer for our organization, providing a consistent, high-quality playing surface for our players and fans to  enjoy. It also opens the door for even more baseball and community events at the ballpark.” 

Clover Stadium also serves as the primary home of the Manhattan University, St. Thomas Aquinas College (STAC), and Dominican  University baseball programs, whose scheduled mid-March home debuts often had to be postponed for several days, if not weeks, because winter weather hampered preparation of the facility’s natural grass playing field. 

Boulders fans — plus the Jaspers, Spartans, and Chargers faithful, too — can chart the stadium renovation’s progress by  following @NYBoulders on all the major social media platforms. 

Boulders, Meet President Trump

The New York Boulders have announced that a pair of their rookie pitchers were singled out at the White House by President Trump. The occasion was a celebration of two championship teams: The Louisiana State University Tigers, winners of their second College World Series in the last three years and eighth all-time, and NAIA-Champion  LSU-Shreveport Pilots, the first college baseball squad ever to complete an undefeated season (59-0). 

LeRhanders Cobe Reeves and Isaac Rohde were part of the LSU-Shreveport contingent invited to Washington by House Speaker  Mike Johnson, who also led a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol for both teams. The first-year Boulders duo combined for 28 of the Pilots’ wins, racking up 258 strikeouts over 206 innings. 

Reeves, who threw 12 2/3 innings in six August appearances for the Boulders, giving up no runs on six hits and four walks with 21 strikeouts, called it an “Unreal experience, once in a lifetime,” and added “Getting to walk around and see pieces of history and  things nobody else gets to see was crazy! Glad I was blessed enough for the opportunity to be here and a chance to see all my  brothers together in one place again.” 

Rohde, whose debut season in Pomona was highlighted by seven innings of two-hit shutout ball with two walks and 12 strikeouts in a 9-3 win on July 18 vs. New Jersey, said it was “Definitely one of the coolest days of my entire life! Can’t express how grateful I  am for the opportunity to go to the White House and meet the President, as well as see the historic city of D.C. with the historic  team of LSU-S. Absolutely amazing trip, beyond blessed to be a part of it!” 

The Boulders will open their 15th anniversary season on Thursday, May 7, 2026, hosting the Brockton Rox. It will mark the start of the  Boulders’ sixth year in the 18-team Frontier League, which features an expanded 102-game schedule and league-most 54 home  games at Clover Stadium.
