In June of 2014, Baseball Ontario announced that four of its affiliated associations had signed an agreement to form a new 18u Midget Elite League (MEL) commencing with the 2015 season. With the success of the league, the  “Elite Baseball League of Ontario” has grown to 13 regions, 3 age groups (15u, 16u, 18u) and over 50 teams. In that time the “EBLO” has had over 100 athletes pursue their dreams of playing University and College baseball.
