WHAT LEVEL IS THE NORTHWOODS LEAGUE?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Northwoods League is the proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players. It is the largest organized summer collegiate baseball league in the world with 24 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind. The 2025 season will mark the 32nd season of the League’s existence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A valuable training ground for coaches, umpires and front office staff, over 365 Northwoods League players have advanced to Major League Baseball, including three-time All-Star and 2016 Roberto Clemente Award winner Curtis Granderson, three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (LAD), two-time World Series Champions Ben Zobrist and Brandon Crawford (SFG) and World Series Champion Chris Sale (BOS). As well as 2019 Rookie of the Year and 2019\/2021 Home Run Derby Champion Pete Alonso (NYM) and 2021 All-Star, MLB Gold Glove finalist and 2019 Second Team All-MLB shortstop Marcus Semien (TOR).<\/p>\n
