New Resource Website Aggregates Pro Independent Leagues
New Resource Website Aggregates Pro Independent Leagues | 
While most affiliated minor leagues finish up their seasons in early September, Independent Baseball teams across North America play through most of the month, concluding with playoffs as MLB begins its post season.
While MILB.com covers farm teams from AAA down to Rookie Ball, finding information about the Independent leagues usually means going to each team or circuit site. A new resource, IndependentBaseball.net, launched today, which aims to help remove confusion around independent minor league baseball.
Matt McDermott, founder of IndependentBaseball.net, said, “In my time as a player, bullpen catcher, team executive, and league official I noticed that there was a general degree of confusion about the overall landscape of independent baseball. Team executives from other leagues didn’t know all of the other teams in other independent leagues, parents of players didn’t know where to find statistics on league leaders, and prospective players didn’t know how to find information about upcoming tryouts. In addition, fans had no centralized source of information about the independent leagues.
“Many people told me that they have wanted to have one universal, easy-to-navigate resource website. This request came from fans of independent and minor league baseball, members of the sports media, family members of players and staff, and industry executives,” McDermott continued. “Therefore I have included links to every independent league and team main website, directions to stadiums, ticket information, and many more resources.”
The site also offers visitors pages to specific content such as team Facebook and Twitter pages, how local businesses can sponsor individual teams, a list of historical independent baseball league champions, updated news from third-party sources, a blog, how to listen to online game broadcasts, and specific information to help parents of youth baseball players as well as prospective players looking for independent baseball league tryouts. Exclusive content, such as interviews with independent baseball radio announcers, is included in the blog.
Leagues covered by the site include the American Association, Atlantic League, Cam-Am League, Continental League, Frontier League, Golden League, Northern League and United League.
