This will be Mike’s fifth season at the helm of the Colts. Prior to coming to San Angelo, the Colts GM spent one season working in football as the General Manager of the Odessa Roughnecks.

The Houston native started his career as a GM when he was promoted from Assistant General Manager during the 1995 season of the Gaston King Cougars of the Atlantic Coast League. He also served as the General Manager for the Rockford RiverHawks, who were the 2004 Champions of the Frontier League. The Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago awarded Babcock with the Minor League Executive of the Year in 2004. Before that, he led the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings of the Texas-Louisiana League for three seasons, winning the Franchise of the Year award in 1999 and the League Championship in 2000. In 1997 and 1998, Mike worked with the Catskill Cougars of the Northeast League and the Northern League, building community relations and increasing attendance at the ballpark. In 1996 and 1997, he worked for the Massachusetts Mad Dogs of the North Atlantic League and Northeast League in 1996 and 1997, setting records both on the field with the help of his Manager George “The Boomer” Scott, and off the field in sales. Mike also worked for the Houston Astros from 1992-1995 where he set sales records and was one of only two sales staff employees to weather the 1994 baseball strike.
In addition, Mike served in the United States Marine Corps from 1984-1987. He currently lives in Sterling City with his wife Rebecca and dogs Buddy and Annie. His daughter Heather and Grandson Logan live in New York. He enjoys music, hunting and traveling.
