The MLB Draft League is a collegiate summer baseball league that began play in 2021.[1] Created by Major League Baseball (MLB) and Prep Baseball Report, the league serves as a showcase for top draft-eligible prospects leading up to each summer's MLB draft.[1] The league's initial six teams were formerly members of Minor League Baseball's New York–Penn League, Eastern League, and Carolina League before MLB's reorganization of the minors for 2021.[2][3] In 2021, each team in the league played a 68-game regular season, with an All-Star Break taking place around the MLB draft.[4] The season will be expanded to 80 games per team beginning in 2022.[5]
