The Freedom Pro Baseball League was an independent baseball league based in Arizona that played in 2012 & 2013. The league started with four teams in 2012. The Copper State Prospectors won the initial league title in 2012 and repeated as champions in 2013.

Joe Sperle is the president and founder of the Freedom League. Sperle, the owner of Joe Sperle's Baseball School, has over 20 years playing and coaching experience.

The league had some financial difficulties in its initial season. They returned in 2013 with a new schedule that included interleague games against teams of the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. They signed former Major League Baseball player Joey Gathright to one of the clubs for 2013.

The league did not play in 2014 because they were unable to work out a lease agreement with Kino Stadium.
