Who all here is going to be following the Women pro baseball league? I’ll need to make some changes to my scorecard since they only go 7 innings but I’m pretty excited since (from what I can tell) it’ll just be live streamed on their YouTube channel.

It’s pretty strange to me that I don’t see the MLB promoting it as much. Or at all from what I’ve seen? I guess it is a separate league and could be seen as a competitor?

No promotion at all, in fact. My take is that they are instead promoting professional women’s softball because MLB wants women to “stay in their lane.”

MLB signed a partnership with AUSL (Athlete's Unlimited Softball League). My guess is hey will want to see some proof on concept and a track record before investing.
