I got tired of googling each Australian baseball player every day so I did something
This tracks every Australian in pro ball, college and MLB.
Still a work in progress but you may enjoy.
Did this for the love of it, so a RT is appreciated

Quinn Johnson had a pair of RBI while John Lemm led the game with two hits.
Up Next: Puerto Rico (1-0) at 5:00AM AEDT.

PSA: Great Britain...yes...Great Britain...have taken Japan to a second extra inning at the U23 Baseball World Cup 😐
HOW’S THE DRAMA?!! Reasons we love baseball ⬇️
Day 1 of the U23 World Cup already delivering!
19-year-old Gustavo Melendez drove in the winning run with two-outs in the bottom of the last!
Puerto Rico 2 def Panama 1. Some nice revenge for PR after losing to Panama in the Americas championship, too 🍿
Melendez is a Pittsburgh Pirates prospect and one of the younger players in the tournament. It’s moments like this that must feel so good and remind you of all the reasons you do it. His father, Gilberto, left his electrician job to become a handyman with more flexible hours so he could train with Gustavo.
All that prep leads to special moments…this was one of the most ❤️

There are 'Three Cs' guiding Team Australia at tomorrow's U23 @WBSC Baseball World Cup.
“It’s about connection, commitment and courage,” says manager Shayne Watson.
He spent the last week drilling that in at training camp. I spoke to him:

Looks like Chiba Lotte Marines and Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants have announced their players heading to Adelaide for the 2026-27 ABL season.
🇯🇵 Chiba Lotte: INF Atsuki Tomosugi, INF Kyuto Ueda
🇯🇵 Yomiuri: INF Kota Hirayama, RHP Yuki Hanada, C Tatsuya Sakamoto
A thread ⬇️
Yuki Hanada (23) is a right-handed pitcher in the Yomiuri Giants system.
He made 10 appearances, including nine starts, in Japan’s farm league in 2026, posting an impressive 1.99 ERA.
Intriguing.
