Platform: MLB 22 The Show
Rosters: Zann’s Fictional Roster
Sliders: Armor & Sword & Marino’s Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders
Roster Control: 30 team control.....just because
Rules: This is a 30-team control story, but I will only be controlling the Flagstaff Hops and checking in occasionally with the other clubs to make sure that they aren't doing anything goofy with their rosters. This is fiction, so I am not a control freak. I am going to try and keep the updates simple like I did in my 2020 DBacks franchise. Enjoy!

Stadium: AutoZone Park

Intermountain Baseball League

Phoenix, AZ (AP) – So in 2020 the great pandemic spread across the globe and a lot of things changed. One of them was a group of wealthy capitalists in the western United States felt it would be worthwhile to start an alternate baseball league to MLB. There would be 30 teams spread across the southwestern United States in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Southern California.

The league began by announcing the 30 teams and announced dates for the player draft. The two leagues would consist of three divisions with five teams in each.

The Mountain League will feature teams in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. The Desert League will feature teams in Arizona, Nevada and California.

The players draft consisting of 90 rounds will be upcoming. I will pick the first few rounds for each team and then simulate the rest of the draft. The fictional rosters are from a simulation of MLB 22 through the 2052 season so there are a ton of highly rated players. Should be interesting.....

IBL Inaugural Player Draft

The draft will work in a snake fashion with the draft order in round one below. Round two will reverse the order. Odd rounds will follow round one and even rounds will follow the order from round two.

The draft order will be determined by a lottery with the draft being held at the league headquarters in Phoenix. The draft will consist of 90 rounds to fill out every team’s roster. I will draft the first three rounds and then sim the final 87 rounds.

The draft lottery was won by the San Diego Seals, and they will hold the first pick. The Flagstaff Hops will pick 13th in the odd rounds and 18th in the even rounds.

Here is the draft order:
1. San Diego Seals
2. Gilbert Barnstormers
3. Austin Fire Frogs
4. Henderson Silver Knights
5. Long Beach Surf Dawgs
6. St George Archers
7. Las Vegas Nuggets
8. Mesa Solar Sox
9. Yuma Dust Devils
10. Santa Fe Silver Bullets
11. Albuquerque Mariachis
12. Colorado Springs Snow Sox
13. Flagstaff Hops
14. Phoenix Firebirds
15. West Texas Bison
16. Rio Rancho Owls
17. Amarillo Honey Hunters
18. Salt River Rafters
19. Fort Worth Kings
20. Scottsdale Scorpions
21. San Antonio Javelinas
22. Salt Lake Chukars
23. El Paso Blue Rocks
24. Prescott Hot Shots
25. Roswell Aliens
