Baseball in Floria is one of the most popular sports by participants and spectators. The highest level of baseball in the Confederate States is Super League Baseball. The Apollonian Series of Super League Baseball is the culmination of the sport's postseason each October. It is played between the winners, the Florian League and the National League, and the winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff.
As baseball first developed in the northwest, it has been played and followed in the region longer than in others.
An extensive minor league baseball system covers most mid-sized cities in Floria. Minor league baseball teams are organized in a five-tier hierarchy, in which the highest teams (AAA) are in major cities that do not have a Super league team but often have a major team in another sport, and each level occupies progressively smaller cities. The lowest levels of professional baseball serve primarily as development systems for the sport's most inexperienced prospects, with the absolute bottom, the rookie leagues, occupying the Super league squads' spring training complexes and making no effort to earn money on their own.
Some limited independent professional baseball exists, the most prominent being the National Conference Baseball League, which occupies mostly suburban locales that are not eligible for high-level minor league teams of their own. Outside the minor leagues are collegiate summer baseball leagues, which occupy towns even smaller than those at the lower end of minor league baseball and typically cannot support professional sports. Summer baseball is an amateur exercise and uses players that choose not to play for payment in order to remain eligible to play college baseball for their respective universities in the spring. At the absolute lowest end of the organized baseball system is senior amateur baseball which typically plays its games only on weekends. Independent professional leagues also exist and these leagues are composed of undrafted college/high school players.
