2024 MWBL OPENING DAY
WELCOME TO THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL
MID-WEST BASEBALL LEAGUE OPENING DAY!
Opening Day marks a significant tradition in baseball, continuing proudly within the Mid-West Baseball League. We embark on the 28th MWBL season. Decades ago, six original franchises embarked on their inaugural journey from the Iowa Baseball Confederacy, and we have since welcomed 18 new franchises. The league has prospered, now recognized as a premier APBA Baseball for Windows League. As we commence this season, our gratitude extends to all who have contributed to the Mid-West Baseball League’s 27-year history. We salute all participants.
The 2023 Mid-West Baseball League World Series Champions, the Hollywood Werewolves, secured their third World Series Championship in a six-game triumph over the Baltimore Comets of the National League. The Werewolves will inaugurate their season at home, confronting the Virginia Sluggers and distributing World Series Rings. Conversely, Baltimore begins its season on home turf against the Sacramento Capitals in National League play.
This year, the Mid-West Baseball League honors national anthems before sold-out audiences in numerous cities across the league. Billy Reedy will graciously perform instrumental versions of both the American and Canadian National Anthems.
The rendition of the Mexican National Anthem is sourced from the internet.
Please select each flag icon to listen to the anthems.
As we mark the Twenty-Eighth Year of the Mid-West Baseball League on this 2024 Opening Day, we wish every team the best of luck. Let us commence the season – PLAY BALL!
MWBL TOP 100 RIGHT NOW
This Year the Mid-West Baseball League is starting a new feature to start the season off.
This new project was put together by our very own Brandon Hogan & we must thank him for his work on this new “MWBL TOP 100 RIGHT NOW” list.
Who are the 100 best players in MWBL right now? MLB Network revealed its list through this year’s Top 100 Players Right Now series, which reached its conclusion with the much-anticipated Top 10 on Wednesday 02/21/2024, and thus the Mid-West Baseball League Picked up on this & decided to make it “Futures Like”.
The formula used for the “MWBL TOP 100 RIGHT NOW” list is based on a 100-point system. The Top Player, according to mlb.com receives 100 points, the second-rated player receives 99 points, and this continues until the #100th player, who receives 1 point.
Each MWBL franchise will then have the points totaled for their prospects, which gives us an overall number and produces our “MWBL TOP 100 RIGHT NOW” list. Here is the much-anticipated list for “MWBL TOP 100 RIGHT NOW”.

This Year once again the Mid-West Baseball League will be supporting MLB Pipelines Top 100 Prospects.
Former MWBL owner of the Iron City Yinzers Jonathan Mayo, along with his colleague Jim Callis – will bring us the 2024 MWBL FUTURES.
Thanks, Jonathan & Jim, you guys do a great job at mlb.com & the Mid-West Baseball League is once again proud to have called one of you our own.
The MWBL always has an eye toward the future, & looks at which MWBL Franchises may have the brightest future ahead of them. The formula used for the “MWBL FUTURES” list is based on a 100-point system. The Top Prospect, according to Jonathan Mayo & Jim Callis of mlb.com receives 100 points, the second-rated prospect receives 99 points, and this continues until the #100th prospect, who receives 1 point.
Each MWBL franchise will then have the points totaled for their prospects, which gives us an overall number and produces our “MWBL FUTURES” list. Here is the much-anticipated list for “MWBL FUTURE”.
2024 PROSPECTS & POINTS / 2024 TOTAL TEAM POINTS / 2024 DRAFT POINTS
2024 PRE-DRAFT RANKINGS / 2024 YEARLY RANKING
MLB Pipeline team compiles the rankings using input from industry sources, including scouts, scouting directors, and other evaluators. The rankings are an aggregate analysis, taking the players’ skill set, upside, proximity to the Majors, and potential immediate impact on their teams into account.
The list only includes players with rookie status in 2024, meaning players who debuted in ’23 but did not accumulate the service time (45 days on the active roster), at-bats (130), or innings pitched (50) to graduate are eligible again this year. First-year players who fall outside of the international pool money rules laid out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement — that is, who are at least 23 years old and played in international leagues deemed professional — are not eligible. That excludes some older rookies debuting after careers in places like Japan, Korea, and Cuba.
