On behalf of Baseball Queensland I would like to personally extend my congratulations to each and every player, coach, umpire, scorer and family who has played their part in the 2018 U18 & U16 State Titles. Both tournaments were filled with fierce competition and wonderful sportsmanship, as CEO I am very proud of the level of baseball these young men and women are producing.
Thank you to Moreton Bay Regional Council for your support through the State Titles and to Baseball Queensland this year so far.
The success of events like these are only possible due to the hard work and dedication of volunteers that work tirelessly in advance and during the busy schedule.  A big thank you to Narangba Demons Baseball Club and Redcliffe Padres Baseball Club for hosting the two events and for proving our teams with your fantastic facilities; we are grateful for your support during the State Titles. It is only through the collective efforts from all the individuals involved that will support the sport’s vision of, “Building a Better Future for Baseball”.

2 QLD Athletes Bound for Arizona Fall Classic

Sep 26, 2018

Baseball Queensland would like to congratulate Tyson Zamora and Liam MacDonald on being chosen to participate in the Arizona Fall Classic as part of the MLB World Select Team.

Tyson Zamora and Liam MacDonald are the only two QLD players out of the 12 young men who have been identified as the ‘best and brightest’ in Australia.

These two QLD athletes will travel to Arizona with the other 10 players next week to begin their preparations for games against professional baseball organizations as well as games in front of the top scouts and college professionals.

Zamora is thrilled to be part of the team and is particularly excited to showcase his growing skillset, “I’m very excited for the trip and looking forward to showcasing my skills and awareness in front of the college coaches and scouts for professional teams. I hope to go out onto the baseball field and show the college and scouts everything I have within my craft. I am hoping to find a college or a professional team to further develop my skills and to reach the highest possible level of skills I can personally achieve.”

MacDonald adds, “I feel extremely thankful for this amazing opportunity. I am excited for exposure as well as a greater knowledge for the game. I’m very appreciative for this opportunity and cannot wait to start!”

We wish you both the best of luck in the Arizona Fall Classic and are extremely proud of your hard work and diligence to your
