National U-12 Team Roster Announced for 2023 WBSC U-12 World Cup

Baseball New Zealand are excited to announce the National U-12 Team Roster for the 2023 WBSC U-12 World Cup in July.

NZ’s National U-12 Baseball team will head to Chinese Taipei in July to compete at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-12 World Cup, being hosted in Tainan, Taiwan from the 28th July to 6th August 2023 at Tainan's Asia-Pacific International Baseball Stadium.

The U-12 National Team Manager / Head Coach Andrew Marck said “We have selected a great group of young baseballers that have demonstrated their skill set, ability, talent and passion to take up their positions in this National roster and compete in Taipei. 

These are our baseballers of the future here in NZ and we are excited to bring this group together and grow from here as we prepare for the WBSC U-12 World Cup tournament.”

The National U-12 coaching and management staff will be working with this group in the short-term leading into the WBSC World Cup tournament, along with also having a long-term developmental focus for these players.
