The Boston Hunters are a professional women's baseball team for Boston that will compete in the Women's Pro Baseball League (WPBL). The team is named for physician and women's rights activist Harriot Hunt. Its main color is green, like Boston Legacy FC, the Boston Fleet, and the Boston Celtics. Its logo is an osprey clasping a baseball bat. The Hunters are one of the four inaugural teams of the WPBL, alongside the Los Angeles Queens, New York Heights, and San Francisco Firebells.

History

Founding

The provisional logo used by the WPBL prior to revealing the team's identity

On October 21, 2025, the WPBL announced that Boston would be one of the league's four inaugural teams, alongside New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.[1] Boston was chosen because of its loyal baseball fan base and rich history.[2]

In November 2025, the team selected catcher Hyeonah Kim of South Korea with the fourth overall pick of the inaugural WPBL draft.[3] The team's first manager will be Keith Foulke, a former relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.[4]

2026 season

The team will not play in Boston during the 2026 WPBL season. Instead, Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, will be used as a neutral venue for the season.[5] League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of home games being introduced in subsequent seasons.[6]

Team identity

When revealed, the team used the working name WPBL Boston.[1] On July 8, 2026, the team received the name "Boston Hunters" after physician, women's rights activist, and Boston native Harriot Kezia Hunt.[7][8]

The Hunters' logo is an osprey clasping a baseball bat.[9] The team's main color is green, like Boston Legacy FC, the Boston Fleet, and the Boston Celtics.[citation needed]
