Women's professional baseball refers to organized baseball leagues and teams that feature female players. Historically, women's baseball gained prominence during World War II with the formation of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), which showcased talented women athletes. Today, various leagues exist, including the National Pro Fastpitch and the Women's Baseball World Cup, promoting competitive play and visibility for female athletes. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in women's baseball, leading to increased support and recognition. Initiatives like the Girls Baseball Alliance and the Women’s Baseball Network aim to encourage participation and development of the sport among young girls, fostering a new generation of female baseball players.
