The Diablos Rojos del México are a Mexican professional women's softball team based in Mexico City. The Diablos Rojos compete in the Mexican Softball League (LMS).
The Mexican Softball League (LMS) was established on 20 September 2023 as the first professional softball league in Latin America. The Diablos Rojos del México were one of the founding members of the league, alongside Bravos de León, Charros de Jalisco, 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 Diablos Rojos debuted with a 3–0 win against Olmecas de Tabasco 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 UNAM's baseball field due to renovations in the Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú.[4] The team finished the regular season in third place with a 14–10 record. Leannelys Zayas led the league in batting average (.479), runs (29), and hits (35).[5] In the postseason, the Diablos faced Charros de Jalisco in the semifinals, losing all three games.[6]
For the 2025 season, the club signed several international players: pitcher Megan Faraimo from United States and pitcher Ilaria Cacciamani and catcher Elisa Cecchetti, who both competed for Italy in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7][8] On 26 January 2025, Faraimo threw the first perfect game in the history of the LMS in the Diablos Rojos' 6–0 victory against El Águila de Veracruz.[9]
