The Charros de Jalisco are a Mexican professional women's softball team based in Zapopan, Jalisco. The Charros compete in the Mexican Softball League (LMS).

History

The Mexican Softball League (LMS) was established on 20 September 2023 as the first professional softball league in Latin America. The Charros de Jalisco were one of the founding members of the league, alongside Bravos de León, Diablos Rojos del México, El Águila de Veracruz, Olmecas de Tabasco and Sultanes de Monterrey; all of the teams were affiliated to baseball clubs from the Mexican League. ^{[1] [2]}

The Charros debuted with a 2–1 win against Bravos de León on 25 January 2024, on the opening day of the inaugural season of the Mexican Softball League. ^[3] The team played its home games during the 2024 season in the Estadio Panamericano in Zapopan, in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. ^[4] Infielder and Olympian for Venezuela at the 2008 Summer Olympics Yuruby Alicart was selected as the team's captain. ^[5]

The team finished the 2024 regular season in second place with a 14–9 record. In the postseason, the Charros swept the Diablos Rojos 3–0 in the semifinals. ^[6] In the final series, the Serie de la Reina (Queen's Series), the Charros faced Sultanes de Monterrey, defeating the Sultanes 3 games to 1. Charros' pitcher Yeraldine Carrión was awarded as the most valuable player of the championship series. ^{[7] [8] [9]} Carrión also lead the league in earned run average, posting a 1.44 ERA, and saves, with two. ^[10] Yuruby Alicart finished the season as the league leader in runs batted in with 21; whereas catcher Karime Valles was the league leader in home runs with six. ^[10]
