History
[edit]Founding
[edit]
On October 21, 2025, the WPBL announced that Boston would be one of the league's four inaugural teams, alongside New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.[1] Boston was chosen because of its loyal baseball fan base and rich history.[2]
In November 2025, the team selected catcher Hyeonah Kim of South Korea with the fourth overall pick of the inaugural WPBL draft.[3]
2026
[edit]The team will not play in Boston during the 2026 WPBL season. Instead, Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, will be used as a neutral venue for the season.[4] League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of home games being introduced in subsequent seasons.[5]
The team name for WPBL Boston was revealed to be the "Boston Hunters" on July 8, named for physician and women's rights activist Harriot Kezia Hunt.[6][7]
