Unlike independent leagues, the CPL focuses on player development while maintaining a strong connection with its local communities.

The conversation also explored the league’s commitment to creating a unique fan experience, encouraging teams to develop creative promotions and entertainment concepts that keep fans coming back to the ballpark.

Allen also discussed the CPL’s international expansion efforts, including partnerships designed to bring overseas talent and teams into the league while continuing to grow the game globally.
