[2] Created by Major League Baseball (MLB) and Prep Baseball Report (PBR), the league operates a split-season format of 80 games with a hybrid amateur–professional structure: for the first half of the season, the league operates as an amateur collegiate summer baseball league to serve as a showcase for top draft-eligible prospects leading up to each July's MLB draft;[2] after a break for the draft, play resumes for the season's remaining games with paid professional players who have exhausted their amateur eligibility.
[4][5] In 2021, each team in the league played a 68-game regular season, with an All-Star Break taking place around the MLB draft.
[6] The season was expanded to 80 games per team beginning in 2022.
