The High-A West is a six-team Minor League Baseball league that began operating in the Pacific Northwest United States and Western Canada in 2021.[1] Along with the High-A Central and High-A East, it is one of three leagues playing at the High-A level, which is three 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 former members of the Class A Short Season Northwest League.[2]
