There’s no crying in baseball, but it’s okay to be a little emotional. 🥹⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Kelsie Whitmore, who was selected No. 1 overall by San Francisco in last night’s historic draft, is no stranger to blazing trails — in 2022, she became the first woman to play in a pro league affiliated with MLB. 🙌⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In last night's WPBL draft, over 120 players were selected in the six-round draft that also included teams representing New York, Boston and LA. ⚾⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Each team made five picks per round, with the order of selection determined by a random draw. Teams will cut their 30-player rosters to 15 for the start of the season. 👀⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The league is scheduled to play all of its games at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springville, Illinois. Teams will be based there over a seven-week season, split up into a four-week regular season, a week for all-star activities and a two-week playoff.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Who else can't wait for August 2026? 🙋‍♀️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #womenssports #baseball #WPBL #Draft #LeagueOfTheirOwn
