QUEENSLAND U18 SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT
Following the 2023 Baseball Queensland Showcase Event, we’re thrilled to introduce the 33 players in the U18 Queensland Squad ⚾️.

As these 33 talented individuals begin their journey representing Queensland, we have full confidence in their ability to excel, not only individually but also as a cohesive unit.
