The Australian Baseball League’s player agreement with Major League Baseball has been extended for a further three seasons, paving the way for an influx of high-quality prospects to take part in the 2020/21 season.

Baseball Australia chief executive Cam Vale said MLB organisations had never been more interested in sending prospects to play in the ABL, cementing the league’s status as the premier baseball competition in the Southern Hemisphere.
