News Release

FORT WAYNE — Ahead of the 2024 Fort Wayne TinCaps season, the team has introduced this year’s internship class.

Interns work in a variety of departments, including video production; marketing; community engagement; grounds crew; ticket sales; hospitality; merchandise; and broadcasting and media relations.

Of the 35 full-time front office staff members the TinCaps have, more than half started with the team as an intern or part-time team member.

“Just as Minor League Baseball helps to develop the future of Major League Baseball, our internship program helps develop future stars in the sports industry,” said TinCaps Vice President Brent Harring, who co-leads the team’s internship program with Austin Allen.

Alumni of the TinCaps internship program have gone on to not only work at Parkview Field, but throughout the sports industry, including with other MLB and MiLB teams.

TinCaps interns are primarily college students or recent graduates. They come from not only Northeast Indiana, but several different states, even spanning outside the Midwest.

Each fall, the team begins its search for interns for the following season. This past October, the TinCaps hosted Minor League Baseball’s Midwest Career Fair, in partnership with TeamWork Online.

This year’s class is already hard at work with Opening Day at Parkview Field approaching on Tuesday, April 9 versus the Cleveland Guardians-affiliated Lake County Captains.
