The Low-A Leagues: Low-A East, Southeast, and West
The new low-A leagues are mainly comprised of teams from the former high-A leagues: the Carolina League, the Florida State League, and the California League. Low-A East is made up of seven teams that were in the high-A Carolina League and five teams that were in the low-A South Atlantic League. Four of the teams have new Major League affiliates. The Fredericksburg Nationals have a new home in Fredericksburg, VA. Previously, they were the Potomac Nationals of Woodbridge, VA.
Low-A Southeast is made up of ten teams from the high-A Florida State League. All ten teams have the same Major League affiliate they had for the 2019 season. Low-A West is made up of seven teams formerly in the high-A California League and one team that had been in the triple-A Pacific Coast League. Only Fresno has a new affiliate.

High-A East, High-A Central, and High-A West
Last week, I began my series on the “new” minor leagues. This week, I continue that series, starting with the High-A leagues: High-A East, High-A Central, and High-A West.
The High-A East League is made up of two divisions: North and South. The league is comprised of six teams that were formerly in the low-A South Atlantic League, three from the former short-season A New York-Penn League, two from the high-A Carolina League, and one the low-A Midwest League. In addition, two teams in the league have new Major League affiliates: the Hudson Valley Renegades and the Wilmington Blue Rocks.
High-A Central also has two divisions: East and West. All its teams were previously in the Midwest League. High-A West has only six teams, all of which were previously in the short season-A Northwest League. Each league has three teams with new Major League parent clubs.
Check out the details about the three High-A leagues in the tables below.

The Annual Minor League Baseball Bobblehead List and Upcoming Promotions
Week 2 of the Minor League Baseball season begins today! With both teams and fans making their comebacks, its time once again for the Annual Bobblehead List! Because of COVID-19 uncertainly or other reasons, not all teams have published their promotions calendars on their websites yet. However, there are a few minor league promotions of note that are coming up.
The Columbus Clippers and Hickory Crawdads both will be holding COVID-19 vaccination clinics. The Clippers will be offering the one-dose vaccine at each game between today and Sunday. The Crawdads will be offering the vaccine on May 16th. Fans can get a free ticket to the Crawdads game by registering for an appointment and once they get the vaccine they will get a free meal voucher. Fans who are already vaccinated can show their vaccine card to the parking attendant to get free parking.
Other notable events this week include the St. Paul Saints celebration of the 40th anniversary of the DeLorean on May 13 and the Daytona Tortugas’ celebration of Jackie Robinson Day on May 15. Of course, there are several bobbleheads being given away this week – check out the Minor League Baseball bobblehead list below.
The table below contains all AAA, AA, high-A, and low-A teams that have reported on their promotions so far. Many giveaways are limited to 500, so check with your favorite team for guidelines and updates.

Monday Baseball Motivation
“If I can help you, it helps us. It’s about winning. If you can tell somebody something and it can help the team, that’s what you do.” – Eddie Murray
Best of the Week, 5/2/2021 – 5/8/2021
Like I’ve said before, a no-hitter is generally gonna be the Best of the Week. Especially when the pitcher has risen through the minors with the same team!
Stat-urday, 5/8/2021
Several of the recent articles about John Means’ success this year remarked on how he’s remained under the radar since being selected in the 11th round of the 2014 MLB draft. I remember seeing Means with the Bowie Baysox, but, well, I’ve seen a lot of pitchers at the minor league level. Nonetheless, so far this year, his stats look a LOT better than his previous years – check them out below. (I’ll have to revisit this at the end of the season for a full-season comparison!)
Happy Stat-urday!

Films on Friday: John Means
Congrats to John Means, who threw a no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Here’s a fun video from last year highlighting his slow and quiet rise within the Orioles organization:
And since we’re celebrating Minor League Baseball Opening Week, here is some footage from his time with the double-A Bowie Baysox and the triple-A Norfolk Tides:
Happy Friday!

Double-A Northeast, Central, and South
Continuing our celebration of Opening Week for Minor League Baseball, I’m highlighting each “new” league over the next several days. Today’s focus is Double-A baseball. At the AA level, the Eastern, Southern, and Texas Leagues have been replaced by Double-A Northeast, Double-A South, and Double-A Central; each league has two divisions.
Double-A Northeast replaces the Eastern League and remains pretty much the same, with one exception: the Somerset Patriots, previously an independent team, have replaced the Trenton Thunder as the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.
Double-A Central is made up of teams that were previously in the Texas League. In addition, two teams previously in the Pacific Coast League have been added to the league: the San Antonio Missions and the Wichita Wind Surge. This is the first season for Wichita, which previously played in Louisiana as the New Orleans Baby Cakes. Three teams have also switched affiliations: Wichita, Amarillo, and San Antonio.
Double-A South takes the place of the Southern League. The big change in the league is the move of the Mobile BayBears from Mobile, Alabama, to Madison, Alabama, and their new identity as the Rocket City Trash Pandas. In addition, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos are now affiliated with the Marlins.
Check out Double-A changes in the tables below:

Triple-A East and Triple-A West
As I promised yesterday, over the next two weeks, I’ll be writing about the changes to minor league baseball. Today we’ll start with a look at Triple-A baseball. At minor league baseball’s highest level, we still have two leagues: Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Perhaps in an attempt to help us understand geography (or just thoroughly confuse us), each league is divided into divisions. Triple-A East has the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast Divisions, while Triple-A West has the East and West Divisions.
These new leagues replaced the International League and the Pacific Coast League, though many teams remain the same. Two teams that were previously independent have affiliated with MLB: the St. Paul Saints and the Sugar Land Skeeters. Three teams changed affiliations (Rochester, Nashville, and Round Rock); one team moved (Worcester); and one team moved up from Double-A (Jacksonville).
Each team in the new-look Triple-A leagues, their MLB affiliate, and additional changes are listed in the table below.
