The Tri-City ValleyCats (colloquially known as the ‘Cats) are a professional baseball team based in Troy, New York.

The ValleyCats compete in the Frontier League (FL) as a member of the North Division in the Atlantic Conference, and play their home games at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

With MLB's reorganization of the minor leagues after the 2020 season, the ValleyCats were not selected to continue in affiliated baseball.
