Mo’ne Davis returns to the baseball field, finding her place in the Women’s Pro Baseball League

Last month, Mo'ne Davis signed with the Women's Professional Baseball League, a six-team circuit launching in May 2026, and completed tryouts in Washington at the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy.
After seeing the league's plans earlier this year, Mo'ne Davis played flag football, which reignited her competitive edge and prompted her return after a hiatus since 2020.
Davis spent weeks getting back into shape and tried out as pitcher, shortstop, and center fielder alongside signed players Ayami Sato, Alli Schroder, and Kelsie Whitmore.
The WPBL aims to offer a sustainable professional path for women’s baseball players, addressing opportunities lost since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded decades ago.
At 13, Mo'ne Davis made history pitching a victory and shutout in the 2014 Little League World Series, inspiring aspiring women baseball players, as WPBL co-founder Justine Siegal said the league is built for stars like her.
