Between December 12 and 15th, Baseball Queensland had the pleasure of hosting Baseball New Zealand (BBNZ), who travelled across the Tasman to compete against our Queensland U16 and U18 squads in a six-game international series for each age group.
The series commenced on Friday, 12 December, and provided an outstanding development opportunity for all athletes involved. Competing against players from outside their home country is an invaluable experience, and this series allowed our Queensland athletes to test themselves against high-level opposition as they continue preparations for the Australian Youth Championships (AYC) in Melbourne this January.
Baseball Queensland would like to extend a sincere thank you to Baseball New Zealand for assembling two highly competitive teams and committing to this tour. The quality of play across all games highlighted the strength of youth baseball in both countries and the value of international collaboration at this level.
Baseball Queensland would also like to thank all clubs, volunteers, officials, and support staff who helped make this series possible. Your efforts play a critical role in providing these high-quality development opportunities for our athletes.
We wish Baseball New Zealand safe travels home and look forward to continuing this strong relationship into the future ⚾
