AMLB IMPORT PLAYERS TO REACH
THE US MAJOR LEAGUES

  

Occasionally we have been asked about the relative standard of the Australian Baseball League in comparison with other baseball leagues around the world. Of course it is impossible to provide conclusive evidence about how strong a particular league might be as there is no means of direct comparison.

However, there is no dispute that the benchmark for all baseball is the USA's MAJOR LEAGUES.

The simple fact is that the Australian Baseball League has featured numerous players through its ten year history who have reached the major league level in the United States of America.

The lists featured on this page may be presented as undisputed, tangible evidence that the Australian Baseball League has indeed been a very serious, high-quality baseball competition.
