Another great piece from Jeff. One thing I'm curious about: New FIBS president Marco Mazzieri has made a big deal about growing the game in Italy. Will we see more Italian-born-and-developed players on the roster than last time? Or will he lean on U.S. stars again?.
My latest for @WorldBaseball_ I take a look at the potential Italian roster at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. With significant growth in decwlopment in Italy, they’ll be led by players born in Italy on the mound as they look to make some noise next year

The road to this weekend's @theAUSLofficial championship started in Japan. Stars Georgina Corrick, Megan Faraimo, Maya Brady have all played in the @JD_League. "Their style of play is very different, so it's a big learning experience," Corrick said.

There's new @WBSC baseball rankings! This is a huge deal for many reasons, but most especially that teams 13-18 will have a wild card play-in for 2027's Premier12. Means that right now, Nicaragua, Czech Republic, Great Britain, and China would all be eligible.

Lacombe has looked great in his return from injury this year, pushing his name into the White Sox's @MLBPipeline Top 30. Another step closer to the Major Leagues!.
