The Golden State Collegiate Baseball League (GSCBL) is a collegiate wood-bat baseball league based out of San Jose, California. It is a 5-team league that was created in 2012 following the folding of the Pacific West Baseball League, and features teams from California and Nevada. It is run as a professional baseball league, but only showcases the top college athletes that gives professional scouts a chance to see prospects.
History[edit]
The Pacific West Baseball League (PWBL) was a short-lived, 10-team, wooden bat, collegiate summer baseball league founded in 2009. It was a showcase for top college-level players,[citation needed] giving professional baseball scouts a chance to see prospective pros playing against each other.[citation needed] The PWBL had franchises in Alameda, Atwater, Auburn, Fresno, Lodi, Sacramento, Salinas, San Rafael, San Francisco, and Carson City, Nevada. The PWBL was formed of two divisions, with each franchise playing a 31 game league schedule. The league folded in 2012 and led to the creation of the GSCBL, where many of the teams continued to play.
Current teams[edit]
The GSCBL has one division with each franchise playing a 42-game schedule, but the teams are encouraged to play 8 to 10 non-league contests to get around 50 games a season.
