LEAGUE PREVIEW:

2026 is shaping to be our best season yet. We have taken our learnings from the last 2 years and have built a blue print for the future. As always, our goal is to complement the rigorous tournament schedules teams provide. Offering a localized platform for pure baseball, we will continue to provide a service that allows coaches and players to show up and just play baseball. We’re committed to fostering relationships, enhancing the player’s experience, and creating a tradition of excellence for years to come.

We welcome 12 new organizations into the mix.

YOUTH LEAGUE: BC Scrappers, Nor-Gwyn Hawks, NGHT Knights, Hustle 360 Baseball, Grand Slam USA, Ghost PA, Fishtown Hoagies, Elite Baseball, Delco Fords, and CSA Bulldogs.

COLEGIATE LEAGUE: Total skills, Philly Bandits Black.

Conferences inside our Divisions

At the 13u and 14u divisions, we will be splitting the teams into a top and bottom conference (Triple A & Double A) which will allow for a more competitive environment. Each Team provided the League with a rating for their organization. During the season, you will see crossover games between conferences. This will provide players with the opportunity to see how they stack up against their competition. Also, each conference will have their own playoffs and we will crown a winner of the Triple A and Double A conferences. Having our Divisions set up this way, we feel will attract more teams to feel they can compete at whichever level they see their team at and make them feel confident they can enter our league and be a part of the movement.

All-Star games in each Division. Happening the week of July 6th, each division will have their own All-star game, highlighting to great play on the field by the players. More information to come but we are excited to recognize the athletes for their hard work.

League wide Stats. Our website has been beefed up this summer. Fans will be able to see live-up-to-date stats and leader boards of our stand out players. This comprehensive section of our site will be a great addition to our service.

Parent and fan Involvement. Enhancing the fan experience will provide our website and socials with great interactions throughout the season. Fans, coaches, and players can submit their game highlight to be feature on all our sites! We continue to make strides to make sure players are the forefront of our mission.

Philadelphia Baseball Review: once again, Patrick Gordon and his staff will be out and about all summer long covering our league. There will be articles, game recaps, and special interviews throughout the season. Be sure to like Patrick’s socials and keep checking our website for article drops on the players and coaches.

A lot going on in 2026. We are excited to bring Pure Baseball back to the fold and provide the service to the players, coaches, and fans to make the experience unforgettable.

Good luck to all teams this year and look forward to seeing you compete on the field!
