The Women's Professional Baseball League (WPBL) announced plans last month to launch in 2026 as a six -team circuit for female players.

If and when it debuts, it will be the first pro league for women since the All-American Girls Professional baseball League — the one immortalized in 'A League of Their Own' — dissolved in 1954 .

Co-founder Justine Siegal was the first woman to coach for an MLB team with the Oakland Athletics .

The WPBL will initially launch with six teams, though Stein estimated that number could later increase to eight .

Stein expects the league to become one of the major women's sports leagues in the near future.

Women athletes have long fought to be paid as much as their male counterparts.

Stein said he believes compensation will be suitable for players hoping to participate in the league.
