The petah Tikva Pioneers (Hebrew: פתח תקווה פיונירס) was an Israeli baseball team from Petah Tikva in the Israel Baseball League.
They finished the inaugural 2007 regular season in last place (9-32; .220), and lost to the Modi'in Miracle in the quarterfinals of the 2007 championship.
The name for the Pioneers was chosen in recognition that Petah Tikva was founded in 1878 by religious pioneers from Jerusalem, who were led by Yehoshua Stampfer, Yoel Moshe Salomon, Zerach Brant, and David Gutmann, as well as Lithuanian Rabbi Aryeh Leib Frumkin.
The first player selected by the Pioneers in the inaugural draft was Dominican outfielder Reynaldo Cruz,[1] who later suffered a concussion and did not play for the rest of the season.
