The Double-A South is an eight-team Minor League Baseball league that began operating in the United States in 2021.[1] Along with the Double-A Central and the Double-A Northeast, it is one of three leagues playing at the Double-A level, which is two grades below Major League Baseball (MLB). The league was created in 2021 in conjunction with MLB's reorganization of the minor leagues.[1] The league is made up entirely of teams formerly of the Southern League.[2]
