The Brooklyn Knights played well in August, going 19-10. Brooklyn's lead over Las Vegas is a substantial 19½ games. Unfortunately for the Knights, Blas Ramos went on the injured list with a hamstring strain. He is not expected to return until late September at the earliest. The Dunedin Otters finally overtook the Luisville Beasts. They have a one game lead heading into August. August was very good to the Washington Allies. The Allies went from third to first, jumping ahead of the Maples and the Corals to establish a solid six game division lead. The Richmond Slam remained in first place. However, that division is up for grabs with both the Phoenix Rattlers and the Vancouver Wild only one game behind.

The NALB All-Star Game was played on July 12, 2022. For League 1, the Brooklyn Knights had the top vote-getters in six out of eleven positions. They led all teams with eight players named to the All-Star squad. Vancouver led League 2 with six players named to the All-Star team.

The League 2 All-Stars reigned supreme with a 4-3 triumph over the League 1 All-Stars. League 2 right fielder Aramis Jaquez led the way for the winning club, putting up a 3-for-3 mark to earn game MVP honors. It was an exciting game tied 2-2 heading into the ninth inning. Jaquez homered in the top of the ninth inning but the League 1 All-Stars tied it to force extra innings. In the 11th inning, Jaquez hit another home run. That ended up as the game winner.

The NALB Home Run Challenge was held on July 11. Fans who came to watch the 2022 HR Challenge expected to see some drama. Drama they received. Arturo Guerrero, the
Phoenix Rattlers right fielder, ended up winning the contest after out-homering Ming Lam in the final round by a score of 9-8.

On July 10, the NALB All-Star Prospects game was played. The League 1 Future Stars defeated the League 2 Future Stars 3-1. Second baseman John Gómez was named the game's MVP. The 22 year old plays for the Stockton Greens, which is the Single A affiliate of the Las Vegas Luck.

The Brooklyn Knights went 17-10 in June. The last two weeks of the month showed the Knights at their best with a 9-2 record. Brooklyn extended its lead once again over Las Vegas and Dayton. The Knights biggest concern heading into the second half of the season is injuries. Third baseman John Ruben was hit by a pitch and suffered a broken thumb. He is expected back in mid-July. Left fielder Syman Lowery is battling a serious hamstring strain. He will probably miss all of July and August.

In June, the Luisville Beasts and Stade Maples maintained their respective division leads but the Richmond Slam were overtaken by the Vancouver Wild.
