Following the success of the 2022 Miles Wolff Cup Playoffs the playoff structure will remain unchanged. The top four teams in each division will advance to the playoffs. The club that wins the division in the regular season will pick their first-round opponent of the qualifiers within the division, in the best-of-three Division Playoff Series. The second round Division Championship Series will also be a best-of-three series. The Miles Wolff Cup Finals will culminate in the crowning of a league champion, with a best-of-five series.
“As we look ahead to the 2023 season we’re optimistic about the growth of our league, improvements to our on-field play, and the love of the game,” said Commissioner Joshua Schaub. “The 12 communities which we serve are stronger than ever and we look forward to bringing great baseball and great entertainment to them all come May.”
