The Parma franchise in the Italian Baseball League welcomes two more farm teams to the organization. The New Black Panthers Ronchi dei Legionari and the Rangers Redipuglia will join the franchise with the lone goal to produce talent for the IBL team. With them six teams overall will support the Angels. Brescia Baseball, Carpi Baseball, San Martino Junior and T-Rex Pastrengo already are affiliated with Cariparma Parma since last year. Cariparma is entering the 2011 season as the defending champion, having dethroned UGF Fortitudo Bologna last summer.
