Tampere Tigers

In 2006, the Tigers aimed for a top-3 spot, narrowly missing it but showing marked improvement, with Tuomo Mesimäki and Niko Wirgentius earning league awards.

In 2015, the Tigers returned to Suomi Sarja, earning their second playoff appearance and finishing the season as runners-up, marking another high point in their early history.

Historic Championship and New Horizons (2016-2018) 2016 was a landmark year for the Tigers, who clinched their first Suomi Sarja title following an exceptional 13-2 regular season.

They also established their first women’s softball team, playing three exhibition games and underscoring the club’s growth in both performance and structure.

By 2018, the Tigers’ roster was at a record high, and they reached the Suomi Sarja playoffs once more, only to fall in the semifinals to rivals Espoo XL5.

Strengthened Juniors and International Play (2024) The Tigers faced a challenging Superbaseball season in 2024, finishing 3rd due to bullpen gaps, but they advanced to the Suomi Sarja semifinals with a mid-season roster boost.

A combination of experienced players and talented young faces have brought strength and confidence to the team.On DL: Henri Santala
