  MLB Pro is a realistic league that focused on replicating the general manager experience by only simming one day, every day and causing its membership to live and die with each day. Established in June of 2012, MLB Pro was determined in creating the most immersive, grueling league in existence. After a staggeringly successful first season, MLB Pro agreed to partner with GM Games and become the flagship league for the site.
  
  MLB Pro was created in June of 2012 with a single overarching mission: create the most immersive simulation league and through that, come as close to replicating the real general manager experience short of earning a paycheck. It does this in many ways but the most of all is it is the only league to sim one day, every single day, replicating the MLB schedule and the MLB pace. General managers live and die by every day instead of blazing through the season in a few months and only caring about the result of the season.
  
  MLB Pro is so much more than a unique sim schedule and that is the reason why GM Games is so proud to have it as our flagship league. MLB Pro also has the most supplementary material of any league. Twitter is used extensively, from a league account to a trade rumors feed, not to mention most of the teams operating their own Twitter accounts. MLB Pro Radio is the umbrella of radio shows about the league, from 'The John Comey Show' who keeps you up to date on news of the league, to the 'Jabs' Game of the Week' with play-by-play by Justin Jabs. MLB Pro also has beat writers for every division and a league for of GM who write articles about their teams. The league also watches all of the games live through OOTP's real-time sim feature.
  
  MLB Pro also operated with scouts and coaches, encouraging a balance between front office management, financial skills, and talent evaluation that leans on the abilities of the general managers, not the ability of the scout. Like in real life, your scouting director is a supplement to your knowledge, not the foundation.
  
  MLB Pro has also incorporated the Nippon Japanese Baseball League. General Managers on the waiting list are given a team in Nippon and they compete against the rest of the waiting list, fighting to have the best record when the next team in the MLB opens up. While they do this, they spend the time getting comfortable with the league and its members, writing articles, and joining in the festivities like any other general manager. Nippon is no second-tier system here.
  
  MLB Pro is the finest league going and a magnificent ambassador for OOTP is and what it can be. The league's second season in 2013 is going to send MLB Pro to heights that cannot be imagined.
