After the 2004 season, the Provo Angels picked up and moved to a new ballpark sharing the field with Utah Valley University and became the Orem Owlz.

In 2016 Dave Stapleton led the Owlz to their 4th Championship as the Orem Owlz but their 5th Championship as a franchise. This made the Orem Owlz the quickest franchise in the Pioneer League to win 5 champions in only 17 years.
In 2017 Tom Nieto took over as manager but Dave Stapleton came back for the 2018 season.
After talk of the Orem Owlz moving to Pueblo, Colorado in 2020, we are here to say that the Owlz are staying in Orem.
This season we have Jack Santora coming in as our General Manager. We are excited to get playing so mark your calendars for June 14th where we will take on the Rocky Mountain Vibes at home in the first game of the season.
