The Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) has officially opened player registration for its 2025 summer tryouts, inviting top female baseball players from around the world to compete for a spot in its inaugural season. This historic event marks the first women’s baseball tryouts in over 70 years, providing a long-awaited platform for women to showcase their talent at a professional level. Registration is open until May 7, 2025, signaling a major milestone in the advancement of women’s sports.
Taking place in July and August of 2025, the WPBL’s tryouts will be held across the U.S. and internationally and will be by invitation for eligible players. Leading the tryouts will be women’s baseball superstar and WPBL Special Advisor, Alex Hugo, who is the only two-time USA Baseball Sportswoman of the Year Award Winner (2019, 2024) and Team USA Silver Medalist at the 2024 WBSC Women’s Baseball World Cup where she was Team Captain. Additionally, Hugo has been a Homerun Derby X participant since 2022 and, in 2023, became a Minor League Roving Instructor for the Athletics (formerly Oakland Athletics).
“The WPBL’s summer tryouts mark an important and exciting milestone in women’s sports,” stated Alex Hugo, WPBL Special Advisor. “Female baseball players around-the-world have been waiting for this moment for over 70 years and I am honored to be leading the tryouts for the League.”
Following the League’s tryouts taking place this summer, up to 200 participants will be invited to the WPBL’s draft in October.
The WPBL is the only professional women’s baseball league in America and will launch with six teams in the spring of 2026 and consist of a regular season, playoffs, and championship. League Co-Founder and baseball pioneer, Dr. Justine Siegal, is the first woman to coach a professional men’s baseball team and to pitch batting practice in Major League Baseball. In addition, Maybelle Blair, sports icon and former professional baseball player in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, was named Honorary Chair of the WPBL Advisory Board comprised of female trailblazers in sports and business.
