The Mat-Su Miners are a college summer baseball club in the Alaska Baseball League (ABL). The Miners are based in Palmer, Alaska, and their name refers to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough where Palmer is located. The team was founded in 1976 and play their home games at Hermon Brothers Field.

The franchise began play as the fourth Alaska-based team of the ABL along with the Fairbanks Goldpanners, Anchorage Glacier Pilots and the Peninsula Oilers for the 1976 season.[1] Originally called the Valley Green Giants, the team would finish the inaugural season in last place.[2] By the 1980 season the franchise would change its name to the Mat-Su Miners which it has been known as ever since.[3] The franchise has won two National Baseball Congress championships for the 1987 and 1997 seasons.[4]
