The Westlake Baseball League (WBL) is made possible, in large part, to the selfless commitment of many sponsors. Baseball programs require a greater financial investment yearly in equipment and field space than most sports. Through our sponsors, volunteers and registration fees, we can  provide new uniforms each year, replace damaged or aging equipment, maintain fields, pay administrative costs and provide financial assistance to families in need who want to play baseball within our community.

The Westlake Baseball League (WBL) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1958 and is dedicated to the encouragement and development of co-ed youth baseball in Pre-K through 12th grade in Westlake, Ohio. The WBL is not affiliated with any other organization and is independent of the Westlake Recreation Department. Westlake Baseball League is supported by the generosity of the City of Westlake who donate field usage to our program. All WBL board members and team coaches are volunteers.
