The Appalachian League is a minor league baseball league which operates in the Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee region. It is a Rookie League, whose players are almost exclusively newly signed to professional contracts. The league's season starts in June, after major-league teams have signed players that they selected in the annual amateur draft, and ends in September.
