Featured — what the official pages already say

Positions and numbers from the official featured-player cards, checked Oct. 1, 2026.

Mo’ne Davis · OF · Los Angeles Queens · #3 · Signed · R1 Pick 10

On the official LA roster. ESPN’s league explainer: in 2014 she became the first girl to win a Little League World Series game and the first female pitcher to throw a shutout in that tournament; she later played softball at Hampton; Los Angeles took her 10th overall. The Philadelphia Inquirer and World Baseball Network reported she scored the first run in WPBL history on Aug. 1, driven in by Maggie Foxx, in LA’s 10–8 win. Player page: Mo’ne Davis.

Kelsie Whitmore · RHP · San Francisco Firebells · #3 · Signed · R1 Pick 1

On the official SF roster as the No. 1 overall pick. ESPN calls her a USA Baseball two-way pitcher/outfielder. The official Aug. 12 recap and MLB.com: she hit three home runs (3-for-4, six RBI) in San Francisco’s 8–2 win over Los Angeles, the league’s first three-homer game. MLB.com also notes earlier pro stops with the Sonoma Stompers and the Atlantic League’s Staten Island FerryHawks. Player page: Kelsie Whitmore.

Ayami Sato · RHP · Los Angeles Queens · #18 · Signed · R1 Pick 2

On the official LA roster (Tokorozawa, Japan). The league’s April schedule post and July branding post both flag her as a headliner for Opening Day.

Ashton Lansdell · IF · Los Angeles Queens · #1 · Signed · R1 Pick 7

On the official LA roster (Marietta, Georgia). The April schedule post called her a Banana Ball star; the July branding post listed her with Team USA in the Opening Day preview. World Baseball Network identified her as Los Angeles’s captain in Opening Day coverage.

Denae Benites · C · New York Heights · #2 · Signed · R1 Pick 6

On the official NY roster. World Baseball Network: she hit the first home run in league history on Aug. 1 (dead center, fourth inning) and went 4-for-4 with three runs and two RBI in the opener. The July branding post billed her, with Kylee Lahners, as a Team USA pairing for that game. Player page: Denae Benites.

Kylee Lahners · IF · New York Heights · #22 · Signed · R1 Pick 3

On the official NY roster (Pinehurst, North Carolina). Named in the league’s Opening Day preview alongside Benites. World Baseball Network: 2-for-2 with three RBI in the Aug. 1 opener.
