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

Another solid crop of NPB 🇯🇵 players participating in the ABL 🇦🇺 this year.
Tomosugi: Plus defensive SS (14 DRS since 2025)
Ueda: Good platoon bat (134 OPS+ vs. RHP)
Hirayama: Promising young corner OF (126 OPS+ before getting hurt)
Hanada: SP prospect (could debut in 2027)
読売ジャイアンツから3選手、千葉ロッテマリーンズから2選手が、オーストラリアのアデレード・ジャイアンツに派遣されることについての情報をまとめました。
いずれも各球団の公式発表に基づいています。
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.

The #Premier12 Qualifiers begin in Barcelona tomorrow, with two spots open in next year's main tournament. Part of the Olympic qualification path, too, here's everything you need to know. Tyler Maun and @SamDykstraMiLB will be on the call: mlb.com/news/premier12-barce…
ÁNGEL MONTÁS IS FOR REAL 🇩🇴
The 15-year-old had a truly historic 2026 U-15 Baseball World Cup.
He leaves the tournament having tied or set or being around the U-15 World Cup single-tournament records in:
💥 1.000 SLG - T-1st all-time
💥 8 doubles - 1st all-time
💥 2 HR - T-1st all-time
And there’s more:
🔥 14 RBI - T-3rd all-time
🔥 18 runs - 2nd all-time, behind only Brice Turang
Think about some of the names already sitting atop the U-15 World Cup record book.
Brice Turang holds records for hits and runs. Yordan Alvarez owns the on-base percentage record.
This is a tournament where future stars have announced themselves to the world.
Ángel Montás just put his name all over its record book.
The kid is a STUD.
My latest
Four Australians played in the inaugural WPBL season.
🏆 Caitlin Eynon became a champion while learning about new cultures
📈 Ticara Geldenhuis experienced transformative growth
🎓 18-year-old Molly Paddison learned how to be a pro
⚾ Claire O’Sullivan became a two-way standout while approaching the game with gratitude
But what was it actually like to become a professional baseball player?

15歳の大会なので7イニングなのですが、私は日本の高校野球も7イニング制がいいなと感じてます。毎イニングにドラマがあります。
🇩🇴🚀 Angel Montas with a moonshot to tie the game!
