BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) -The Battle Creek Battle Jacks today announced Scott Miles has taken over as the club’s new owner.
The club says Miles is a lifelong baseball enthusiast and accomplished entrepreneur, bringing over two decades of leadership across technology and sports, including a strong track record of revitalizing community sports programs and driving long-term growth through strategic vision and hands-on management.
Miles purchased the team, which plays in the Northwoods League, from Brian Colopy, who also owns and operates the rival Kalamazoo Growlers. Both teams are in the Great Lakes East Division of the 24-team league, the proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players and exceptional fan experiences.
The Battle Jacks 32nd season opens Memorial Day, May 26.
“I’m thrilled to join the Battle Jacks, the City of Battle Creek, and the Northwoods League,” said Miles. “Baseball has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I see this as more than a team—it’s an opportunity to continue to build something special with the community. We’re ready to deliver a summer filled with energy, connection, and unforgettable moments at the ballpark.”
“I’m incredibly grateful to Brian, the league, and city leaders for their support during this transition,” Miles added. “The foundation here is strong—thanks to the dedicated front office, coaches, players, host families, fans, and sponsors. My goal is to honor that legacy while bringing new energy, ideas, and experiences to keep the Battle Jacks growing season after season.”
