Tampa, FL — The Empire Professional Baseball Development League (EBL) and its Instructional Training Camps continue to receive world-class recognition for their exceptional role in player development and advancement to professional baseball.
Major League Baseball (MLB) Partner League commissioners and Professional team owners from across the country work closely with the Empire League and its scouting executives, creating a vital bridge for players seeking to reach the professional level.
The recognition extends beyond being one of the nation’s premier player development and showcase platforms. The Empire League has also become a top international player portal, welcoming athletes from across the globe who aspire to launch or continue their professional baseball careers in America.
Operating during the summer months, the EBL provides MLB Partner League teams with a reliable, high-quality pool of players to draw from when roster needs arise due to injuries or midseason openings. Each year, approximately 30–35% of Empire League players earn professional baseball contracts, proving the league’s effectiveness as a true pathway to the pros.
“The Empire League continues to bridge the gap between amateur and professional baseball,” said Jonathan Albaladejo, who is a former NY Yankee and current MLB partner League Manager. “Our mission has always been to provide players with a legitimate platform to develop, compete, and earn their shot at the next level — and the results speak for themselves.” Said Empire Director Eddie Gonzalez.
MLB scouts, coaches, and executives from MLB Partner Leagues consistently recommend that aspiring professionals attend their nearest Empire League camp or showcase for the best opportunity to get signed.
