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. New York was chosen because of its big baseball fan base, with two Major [League Baseball] teams.
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.
In November 2025, the team selected infielder Kylee Lahners with the third overall pick in the league's inaugural draft.

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. League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of exhibition games being played at the four cities.
