The Low-A West is an eight-team Minor League Baseball league that began operating in California in 2021.[1] Along with the Low-A East and Low-A Southeast, it is one of three leagues playing at the Low-A level, which is four 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 of seven former members of the Class A-Advanced California League and one former member of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.[2][3]
Champions
In the Low-A West's first season, the two teams with the highest winning percentages in the regular season competed in a best-of-five series to determine the league champion.[4]

Four awards were presented in the Low-A West's first season: Most Valuable Player, Pitcher of the Year, Top MLB Prospect, and Manager of the Year.[6]
