2020 Season Update June 26th:

The WBA has decided not to have a league season this summer. We had delayed our decision as we were hopeful sites would start to open up. That of course has not happened and we don't see it happening within the next two weeks. However, we have granted teams the option of playing an independent schedule if they choose. We look forward to returning in 2021! In the meantime everyone stay safe and healthy during the remainder of 2020.

Scorpions with one, and the Fire with one.  The WBA has had many players drafted and became MLB players including Adrian Gonzales, Kevin Correia, Sean O'Sullivan, Jeff Karstens, Marcus Giles and Mike Jacobs to name a few.  In 2015 three former WBA players were taken in the 1st Round - Dillon Tate (Grizzlies), Kevin Newman (Sklz) and Kyle Holder (Stars).
