Welcome, Chattanooga MABL!
By Steve LaMontia-Carlentini, Director of Communications
Tennessee is famous for the Smokey Mountains, Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Todd Helton, and now the MSBL’s latest addition, the Chattanooga MABL, also known as the ‘Nooga Baseball League.’ The 6-team, 18-over league is headed up by Tyler Cupit and is making its 2025 debut under the MSBL/MABL banner.
“I stepped up in 2024 and asked to run the league in 2025, and here we are,” chuckled the 25-year-old Cupit. “I guess you have to be careful what you ask for!”
Tyler is the captain of the Tennessee Outlaws in the league, who currently sit at 2-0 as of April 13th.
“We started April 6th and will run through August 17th, including our double-elimination playoffs. Our Outlaws team will also be traveling to play in Atlanta at the Billy Townsend Memorial Tourney over Memorial Day.
I also manage a Tennessee Rockies travel team that plays all over the USA. Having teams play in national MSBL tournaments is definitely on our ‘to do’ list.”
Regarding the day-to-day operation of the league, who are your helpers that you would like to recognize?
“I will be running the daily operations to make sure I am aware of every aspect of our organization in year one. But we wouldn’t be at this stage without the help of Brock Qualls, Curtis Ellison, and Brett Holte. We chose MSBL to become associated with so that we are linked with a professional organization, which also allows us to grow our league.”
Here is the mission statement from the league’s website page:
CBL is a competitive men’s baseball league supporting the greater Chattanooga metro, Cleveland, and North Georgia. The league’s business name is Nooga Baseball LLC. It is an 18-and-over league with prior baseball experience ranging from high school to college, independent, and minor league ball. The 2025 regular season will run from April 6th through the end of July, with playoffs to follow, and the All-Star Game on the July 4th weekend.
