Once again minor league baseball players in the Cincinnati Reds farm system will return to Chattanooga where they hope to bridge their dreams to one day getting the call to the big leagues.
With more than 4,000 fans coming out to AT&T Field for Opening Day in 2023, perhaps an even greater turnout — weather permitting — could be in store as the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts open their final season atop Hawk Hill where they moved to at the turn of this century.
After winning a first half Southern League championship last season and sending a handful of players to the major leagues, which included names such as Noelvi Marte and Andrew Abbott, the Lookouts will look to put an entertaining product on the field yet again.
After beginning its season on the road, Chattanooga (0-3) will begin a six-game homestand against the Tennessee Smokies (2-1) on Tuesday evening with a 7:15 scheduled first pitch.
