History
Founding
On October 21, 2025, the WPBL announced that New York would host one of the league's four inaugural teams, alongside Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.[1] New York was chosen because of its big baseball fan base, with two Major League Baseball teams.[2]
The team does not have a name yet. Its main color is teal, with a color scheme similar to that of other New York women's sports teams.[3][independent source needed]
In November 2025, the team selected infielder Kylee Lahners with the third overall pick in the league's inaugural draft.[4]
2026
The team will not play in New York in the 2026 WPBL season. Instead, Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, will be used as a neutral venue for the season.[5] League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of exhibition games being played at the four cities.[6]
