The Olmecas de Tabasco are a Mexican professional women's softball team based in Villahermosa, Tabasco. The Olmecas 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 Olmecas de Tabasco were one of the founding members of the league, alongside Bravos de León, Charros de Jalisco, Diablos Rojos del México, El Águila de Veracruz, and Sultanes de Monterrey; all of the teams were affiliated to baseball clubs from the Mexican League.[1][2]
The Olmecas debuted with a 0–3 loss to the Diablos Rojos del México on 25 January 2024, on the opening day of the inaugural season of the Mexican Softball League. The game, played in the Estadio Centenario 27 de Febrero had an attendance of 12,000 spectators.[3][4] The team, led by manager Luisa Hernández, finished fifth with a 11–13 record, failing to qualify for the playoffs.[5][6]
On 11 December 2024, Venezuelan Olympian Zuleyma Cirimele was appointed manager of the team ahead of the 2025 season.[7][8] Before the final game of the season, Cirimele left the team and was replaced by Martín Botello.[9] The team was once again eliminated from the postseason after finishing fifth with a 12–16 record.[10]
On 13 November 2025, Oscar Soto, who had previously worked with the team as a coach in 2024, was appointed manager. Botello was reassigned as bench coach.[11][12]
