After the great MLB reorganization of what were Minor League Baseball and independent-league baseball, we now have MLB Partner Leagues. The Frontier League, American Association and Atlantic League still exist, but they were joined in MLB Partner League ranks by the Pioneer League, formerly an affiliated Rookie league. In addition, we saw a slew of formerly affiliated teams joins the ranks of MLB Partner Leagues. 

(OK, so strictly speaking, not every ballpark here is part of an MLB Partner League: Jimmy John's Field and Volcanoes Stadium host professional baseball and fall under the imprimatur of independent baseball.) 

This isn’t the result of a formal grading system, but rather recommendations based on years of attending games, seeing how the ballparks function behind the scenes (we have seen plenty of ballpark cisterns while on visits in the past), how these ballparks have made an impact in their communities, and noting how ballparks are regarded within the industry. One of the reasons we love working in baseball is that many industry folks, including many on the player side, are ballpark geeks, and we think this list reflects broad sentiment among those who know ballparks best. Clipper Magazine Stadium received the most votes in the 2021 MLB Partner Leagues vote, so the home of the Lancaster Barnstormers automatically received the top seed, with the following seeds based heavily on 2021 results. This was a very difficult bracket to seed: you had a traditional set of indy ballparks combined with a wide range of formerly affiliated facilties ranging from Triple-A to Low-A and rookie/short-season leagues. Two new ballparks were placed at the bottom of the rankings, while SIUH--the former Richmond County Bank Ballpark--is seeded based on its past as home of the Staten Island Yankees, though it has been upgraded since then.
