The following is the 2022 schedule for the Portland Pickles.
The Pickles play 40 home games over the course of the pre- and regular-season against West Coast League opponents accompanying four states and two Canadian provinces. The schedule also includes a trio of home games against other local collegiate wood-bat teams in the pre-season and other games against them during breaks in the regular season. The regular season begins on May 31 at home against the expansion Nanaimo NightOwls of British Columbia.
Most weeks have the Pickles playing a pair of three-game series Tuesday through Sunday, with Monday off. The West Coast League is comprised of 16 teams. The Pickles play at least a series each against 11 of those teams, and a pair of series against most of them. They do not face the Kamloops NorthPaws, Kelowna Falcons, Port Angeles Lefties, or Wenatchee AppleSox.
Several players from the WCL see time in MLB and are chosen in that league's draft regularly. The WCL, as well as other leagues around the country, give players exposure beyond their college careers. Forty two players with WCL experience were taken in the 2021 MLB Draft, including four players in the first two rounds. The number one overall pick in the 2019 draft was Adley Rutschman of the Corvallis Knights.
The Pickles play their home games at Walker Stadium in the Lents neighborhood of southeast Portland. All times are pacific time and are subject to change. Pickles' home games are highlighted in bold green. Where applicable, click on the final score to access the official boxscore of the game.
