THE MODERN PROMETHEUS: Building the WPBL | Draft Breakdown & Literary Deep Dive

The Women’s Professional Baseball League is about to throw the switch. This episode breaks down the inaugural WPBL Draft through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein—a creation story about assembling parts, animating them with intention, and deciding whether the creature thrives…or turns on its maker.

We dive into:

  • Kelsie Whitmore as the #1 overall “heart” of the build

  • Ayami Sato and the global “unhallowed arts” powering the league

  • Claire & Elodie O’Sullivan as the essential companion narrative

  • Veterans Micaela Minner, Homa Schweers & Meggie Meidlinger as the brainstem of the operation

  • Strategic picks from Rounds 2–5, including Eccles, Beppu, Bearpaw, Benites & Leblanc

  • The soul, culture, and identity that will determine whether this new league lives

Join us TOMORROW at 8pm EST for our Live WPBL Draft Watch Party streaming on Twitter/X, Instagram, and YouTube. We’re covering every pick, every shock, every storyline.
