“Our 20th season is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible talent that has come through the WCL,” said Commissioner Rob Neyer. “From college hopefuls to Major League standouts, these legends remind us what the West Coast League is all about: opportunity, development, and unforgettable experiences in summer baseball for fans and players alike.”
Fans can expect exclusive content, highlights from each player’s time in the WCL, and the chance to win limited-edition Legends Series merchandise and memorabilia. The campaign will roll out weekly across the league’s digital and social channels, and over the season will be joined by other exclusive content celebrating both the League’s illustrious past and its exciting future.
