In March, the California Winter League (CWL) released a list of all players that were signed during or after the CWL season.

The list, which was updated after the season on February 27th, included 69 players who had signed at least a spring training contract for various independent leagues and major league organizations.

Since all the leagues are now mid-way through their seasons, we have decided to do an update to see how many CWL players are still on active rosters around the country.
