I love baseball but as someone who grew up as a softball player I can’t help but feel like AUSL is probably going to overtake this league quite quickly considering the support it’s getting from MLB and other large vendors, not the mention its very fast traction.

She has a career .037 BA and 12.04 ERA as a two-way player in Independent League ball. Maybe she turns it around in this league
I’m incredibly excited for the WPBL. Can’t wait to travel to Springfield Illinois for a few games this summer!
I live in the Bay Area and was excited she was on the SF team so I would get a chance to see her play. Didn’t realize they were playing the entire first season at a neutral site. I hope they start playing in San Francisco soon!
Am I only one that thought this was Manny Machado at first glance
You want this league to work there’s one move to start things off. You get every top pitching coach and every pitching legend down to camp with Mo’ne Davis and make her a pitcher again. If any potential casual fan is going to recognize a name, it’s hers.
