the AUSL has 4 teams. That is only going to be so many softball players. 4 teams from current seniors like Lemley and McMillian plus potential players from over the last several years who might try to play if the money is there? her
The Fast Pitch league had 4 teams also right?

The inaugural season will be touring teams in 10 different cities (Rosemont, IL; Wichita, KS; Sulphur, LA; Chattanooga, TN; Norman, OK; Omaha, NE; Seattle, WA; Salt Lake City, UT; Round Rock, TX; and Tuscaloosa, AL), and will feature four teams, the Bandits, the Blaze, the Talons, and the Volts.
They will play a 24-game schedule. Each team already has a base roster from last year's AU participants and the rookie draft will round out those rosters.
The AUSL plans to become a city-based league starting in 2026.

No. 3 Draft Need: Utility/Outfielder
Keeping with the thinking of going for utility players, the Bandits could look for an athlete with experience at third and in the outfield. Most of the Bandits roster is true to a defensive position on the field, so a utility player who can shift as needed would be a great addition to the team. Outfield experience would be an added plus with only Nickles, Zerkle, and Dayton available in the grass.
Pick Prediction: Cori McMillan
Cori McMillan is by far the best example of this. She predominantly played third at Radford University, but after transferring to Virginia Tech, she’s been a right fielder for two seasons. She’s athletic, can hit for power, and has speed to boot. McMillan is having the hottest season at the plate in her collegiate career right now; she’s batting .444 with a slugging percentage of a whopping 1.030. McMillan is the nationwide leader in home runs with 23.
Tune in on May 3 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on ESPNU as the Bandits, Blaze, Talons, and Volts choose the top college talent invited to compete in the AUSL’s inaugural season.
