Women's Pro Baseball League to hold inaugural draft

The Women’s Pro Baseball League holds its inaugural draft on Thursday. The new league features four teams — representing Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco — and will play all of the inaugural season’s games in Springfield, Illinois.

For more on the new league, host Tiziana Dearing talks to Justine Siegel, a co-founder and the first woman to coach for a Major League Baseball team when she was with the former Oakland Athletics in 2015.
