The Israel Baseball League is the professional baseball league of Israel. In the IBL’s inaugural season, there will be six teams -- The Bet Shemesh Blue Sox, The Modi’in Miracle, The Netanya Tigers, The Petach Tikva Pioneers, The Ra'anana Express, and The Tel Aviv Lightning. Among the managers of the IBL’s teams are former Major League stars Art Shamsky, Ken Holtzman, and Ron Blomberg.
The IBL has quickly established itself as a League-of-Choice for the premier international baseball player. Already signed for its inaugural season are players from the United States, Canada, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Australia, Europe, and, of course, Israel. Players from additional countries are expected to be added over the coming months. The players signed all have significant baseball pedigrees, being alums from the Minor Leagues, national teams, college varsity teams, and other major baseball programs.
