Watertown is just continuing to struggle with baseball. Over the past decade, it seems no matter who is there can’t satisfy the powers that be. Geographically, it’s not a great spot really for any league. The facility is the original, I was there last year and the PA system and scoreboard had issues.

Watertown’s another 4 1/2 hours on the other side of Jamestown, which was a stretch geographically on its own…can’t imagine that the Prospect League would be interested in extending itself that far.
I’m sure the Prospect League would love to have a franchise there too. Makes perfect sense for their strategic plan.
