The American Association of Professional Baseball has extended the contract of commissioner Joshua Schaub for three more years, the league announced Wednesday.

Schaub, who was appointed to as the commissioner of the AA on March 1, 2019, and has led the league to an expanded broadcast footprint that now exceeds 70 million homes via its online streaming platform at aabaseball.tv. Meanwhile, the league’s social footprint has seen over 1000% growth across every major category in the last three seasons, and new sponsorship revenue is up 20% in just the past season and 100% in the least three seasons according to the league’s press release announcing the extension.

“The growth we have experienced across the board as a league is unprecedented, and we are proud to be able to continue to expand our success under Josh’s leadership for years to come,” said Sam Katz, Board member and owner of the Winnipeg Goldeyes.

As commissioner, Schaub is the chief executive for the American Association and leads the American Association’s operations, media, expansion, revenue initiatives, technology enhancements and emergence, public relations, and relationships in professional baseball. He succeeded league founder Miles Wolff, who retired at the end of 2018 after 13 seasons as Commissioner.

Schaub is a former CEO and co-owner of the Joliet Slammers baseball club of the Frontier League as well as the former commissioner of the Major Arena Soccer League. He has previously worked in the Milwaukee Brewers scouting department as an intern and associate scout and serves as an adjunct professor of Sports Law at the University of Wisconsin. Additionally, Schaub has served as a consultant and legal counsel to numerous professional baseball teams for both business, legal, and baseball matters.

“It has been an honor to help lead such a talented and professional group, from our league staff to our ownership groups and our business and broadcast partners, as well as our managers, coaches and athletes,” Schaub said in the league’s press release. “While we have made great strides across the board, our biggest opportunities still lie ahead and I am looking forward to seeing how far we can grow, especially with the buy-in of our fans.”
