Aspen Eighty is an independent sports media outlet dedicated to covering women’s professional softball and the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL).
We publish news, season coverage, and player profiles on the athletes and teams shaping the future of the sport. Our coverage spans all six AUSL franchises, the annual college draft, and the broader landscape of women’s professional softball.
Why Aspen Eighty
Founded in 2026 alongside the AUSL’s expansion to six teams and its landmark broadcast deal with ESPN and ABC, Aspen Eighty was built to fill a gap in the sports media landscape. Women’s professional softball deserves the same quality of independent coverage that fans of other major sports expect — and that is what we aim to deliver.
We are not affiliated with the AUSL, any team, or any athlete. Our editorial independence allows us to report objectively and hold the league accountable while celebrating the sport and its players.

Our Standards
All Aspen Eighty articles follow AP style and are held to the sourcing, accuracy, and attribution standards outlined in our Editorial Policy. We do not fabricate quotes, statistics, or player information.
