This Friday, the first-ever Women’s Professional Baseball League (WPBL) draft will take place, and our very own Allie Bebbere is in the draft pool with the chance at a professional contract in the United States.
Allie has won gold with the Victorian Women’s State Team, represented her country as part of the Australian Emeralds, and earned multiple Golden Arm Awards. Now, she’s one of nine Aussies hoping to hear her name as the draft gets underway.
From over 600 triallists, only 150 women made the draft pool for the inaugural WPBL season. Approximately 120 will be selected across four teams – San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Boston.

P.S. Doncaster Dragons Baseball Club is hosting a draft party on Friday 21 November from 12pm in the clubrooms. Food, beverages, and Wi-Fi are available, and everyone is invited to show support for Allie.
