The Carolina League of Minor League Baseball is one of three Class A-Advanced baseball leagues in the United States. The league was founded in 1945. A league champion is determined at the end of each season. Champions have been determined by postseason playoffs or being declared champion by the league office. Currently, the first-half and second-half winners in each division (Northern and Southern) compete in a best-of-five division series. Then, the Northern and Southern division winners play a best-of-five series to determine a league champion.[1] League championsScore and finalist information is only presented when postseason play occurred.
