[...] To be honest, the approach was vindicated two years ago when we came second in the European Baseball Championships just behind the Netherlands, which was a fantastic achievement. Our best player, and the tournament MVP, was Brant Ust who two years ago was on the Mariners’ Triple-A team roster. Finishing second in that tournament meant that we qualified for the Baseball World Cup that will be held in September this year. If interested, our Q&A with Brant can be found here. [...]

Hi Paul,

It’s an encouraging thought that it is at least possible for us to have a steady flow of British talent entering professional baseball in the States (and thus picking up experience to see our national team get stronger still).

If and when that flow might start will depend a lot on initiatives such as the field sharing that you mention.

Thanks for the comments.

I feel that if Australia with a significant smaller population than the UK can produce great baseball players who star in the U.S. minor and major leagues, Great Britain can do likewise.

I don’t believe the UK weather which is similar to that in the Pacific Northwest (Canada included) and New England of the U.S. is a legitimate reason (Australia is more like California/Florida weatherwise).

Greater cooperation between cricketeers/soccer leagues in the sharing of fields is the first step.
