2014
The Rebellion joined NPF for the 2014 season, and received both the NY/NJ Comets' roster and draft position. This resulted in Pennsylvania having the overall first pick in the 2014 NPF draft, which they used for Arizona State's pitcher Dallas Escobedo, who pitched for the Rebellion's first ever win.
Overall, the Rebellion struggled through the season, batting a league-worst .199. Manager Rick Bertagnolli resigned following a 2-10 start, citing 'personal reasons.' Assistant coach Stacey Rice, was named to replace him. The Rebellion's inaugural season ended with 9-39 record, finishing in last place.
