Jeff Jarrett Set For Announcement About Developmental Baseball Team

Jeff Jarrett has been showing up everywhere lately. The former WCW champion recently made an appearance on WWE SmackDown. Jarrett has also been busy after partnering with the ownership group of a small collegiate developmental baseball team.

Double J joined the Springfield, Illinois group late last year. There has been much confusion online about whether Jarrett bought a stake in the team or is just working for them. The team’s owner brought Jarrett in with the promise of bringing a pro wrestling twist to the fan experience.

The team that Jeff Jarrett is working with is a member of the unaffiliated Prospect League. Players in the league are not considered professionals. League rules dictate that all players must maintain their NCAA eligibility to play.

The regional organization has teams in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. They play at Robin Roberts Stadium, which has a capacity of 5,200. Jeff Jarrett is looking to bring a carnival-like atmosphere to the ballpark this Summer.
