2027

With the first overall pick in the draft, Asheville selected pitcher Edna Buck from Kent State, marking only the third time a pitcher had gone first overall. The 2026 no. 1 pick, Kenya Burch, had a good year in Hamilton as she hit .240 in 98 games and was selected as an All-Star.

Joan Shea began the season still with the Ramblers.

At the All Star Break, now August 25th, the Valkyries held a half-game lead at the top of the north division, with a record of 30-20. The south division lined up like the year before, with Richmond leading (38-13) and the wild cards filled by Salisbury and Charlotte. Belle Leachy was named the game’s MVP as the South beat the North 4-0 in a game that seemed to exemplify the dwindling prowess of the North Division.

Come season’s end, it was the same story as 2026. New York won the north at 56-44 while the South dominated. Richmond went 77-23, Charlotte 68-32 and Salisbury 65-35.

New York-Richmond went the distance as the teams traded wins back and forth. However it would be the Storm who progressed to the final, where they would face the Charlotte Valiant, who appeared in their first WBLA Cup after beating Salisbury in four. However, the fantasy hit the brick wall of reality as Richmond swept them in four straight shutouts, including at no-hitter in game three.

For the third straight year, Keesha DeWilliams was the batting average champion as she hit .405. And it was 2025 no. 1 pick Jayla Van Iderstine who earned the home run trophy with 39 longballs. She was just beaten to the RBI title by Salisbury’s Louisa Garcia, who batted in 110 to Van Iderstine’s 108. On the mound, Andrea Maas recorded triple crown with a 1.77 ERA, going 17-0 in 20 starts and striking out 152.

Lulu Casares, a Nicaraguan free agent who had signed with Charlotte in January 2027, was named Rookie of the Year after hitting .329 during the season. For her triple crown, Maas won her third Pitcher of the Year award while Billie Eischens, with a batting average of .387 and 36 home runs, won their third MVP award.

The league said goodbye to a number of veterans at the end of the season- Georgia Fudge had joined the league in the 2019 inaugural draft and had spent her entire career in New York. Across 542 games, she had hit .320, 78 home runs and 324 RBI. The league also said good by to Richmond’s Louisa Acosta, who had joined the league after being drafted by Salisbury in 2019. Over 548 games, Acosta hit .303 and 320 RBIs, earning 1 Defensive Player of the Year for 3B, 2 Cherry Zeck Awards, 3 WBLA Cup rings and an All Star appearance.

It was also announced that Beaver’s team, coming in 2029, would be nicknamed the Lionesses.
