| FMBL Players in Professional Baseball | |||||
| The FMBL has been home to some of the most competitive amateur baseball in SWFL since 2005, and continues to attract the area's top talent. Every season, ex-collegiate and ex-professional ballplayers compete in our Premier Division. We have even had several players signed to professional contracts directly out of the FMBL -- a testament to the level of competition available. The list below outlines FMBL players, past and present, who have played or are currently competing in professional baseball leagues. Players in bold are currently on a professional roster. | |||||
