Highest minor league baseball by state

How to read this ranking

Florida has the highest published minor league baseball in this comparison, at 12. The next states shown are California (9) and North Carolina (9).

The table orders 51 states by affiliated minor league baseball sports teams. It describes one published measure, not an overall judgment about where to live.

Use the result as a starting point, then compare the underlying source, dates, and local county figures before making a decision. Affiliated minor league baseball, the clubs tied to a major league organisation. Independent leagues are not counted. One Canadian club does not appear. Placed by the county its venue is in, not the one in its name, so a club often counts in a neighbouring county to the city it is named for. A zero means no club in the leagues listed here, not no sport: college divisions below the top tier, other leagues and independent baseball are not counted.
