The Dubai Wolves are a professional baseball team based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are one of four inaugural franchises of Baseball United, a professional baseball league with teams based in the Middle East and South Asia.[1]

Draft

The first ever Baseball United Draft took place October 23, 2023, with all four franchises making selections.[2][3] The draft was a snake-draft format, where the draft order "loops" around (1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1). The Wolves got the 3rd and 6th overall selections in the first round, where they selected former Major League Baseball infielders Didi Gregorius and Robinson Cano.[4][5][6]

The Wolves made 20 selections across the 10 rounds of the draft, 8 pitchers and 12 position players.[7]
