I’ve been working on player features ahead of the first WPBL season, and these three are now up on This Is Women’s Baseball.

Ela Day-Bédard, Liz Gilder and Natsuki Yonetani all arrive in the league through different baseball paths, including Team Canada, Baseball BC, Samurai Japan and international competition.

There are quite a few player features on the site now, with more being added as I keep working through the rosters.

Hey y'all. The Boston Red Sox hosted and trained WPBL players during spring training. It's time to meet some WPBL players and fans in Brockton, Massachusetts this Sunday, June 28, 2026

We're making plans to go.
40 minute commuter train ride from Boston.
Country Inn seems to be the hotel closest to the stadium.

The WPBL and The Realest are teaming up on official trading cards and authenticated memorabilia for the league’s inaugural season.

The part I’m most excited about is that this starts right away. Opening Day patches, game-used items and cards from the first season will be part of the record as the league is being built, not something people have to dig for years later.

Quick note on the graphic: the player cards and baseball shown are fan-made concept artwork by This Is Women’s Baseball. They are not official WPBL or The Realest products. I just wanted to make something that matched the excitement around the news.

Really curious to see what the first official checklist looks like.
