Venezuelan Major League

The Venezuelan Major League, officially the Major League of Professional Baseball (Spanish: Liga Mayor de Béisbol Profesional or LMBP) is a professional baseball league in Venezuela. Unlike the top-level Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, which plays a winter league schedule, the LMBP is played during the summer. It is the first summer baseball league in Venezuela since the Venezuelan Summer League and Bolivarian League ceased operations in 2015 and 2019, respectively.[1][2][3]
