Bahamas sets sights on becoming hub for Caribbean Baseball
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bahamas Baseball Association is aiming to become the central hub for baseball in the Caribbean, marked by the recent unveiling of the Andre Rodgers Stadium in Nassau. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The state-of-the-art facility hosted its first major event, the 4th
Caribbean Baseball Cup in 2022, and has since set the stage for a future filled
with promise for baseball in the region.</p>

<p>The stadium boasts a modern synthetic field and seating for 5,000
fans, meeting professional standards. Its opening has generated considerable
interest outside the Bahamas, attracting the attention of international
baseball communities. </p>

<p>This year alone, the Bahamas is set to host two events under the Caribbean Baseball Confederation (COCABE) – the U-15 Cup from 6-13 August and the sixth edition of the Caribbean Baseball Cup in October.</p>

<p>The Bahamas Baseball Association (BBA) and the local organising committee of the U-15 tournament have provided an excellent venue for baseball in a country known for its hospitality. Now, they are channelling efforts to promote baseball, further leveraging the country’s strengths.</p>

<p>The Bahamas are ranked 59th in the <a href="https://wbsc.org/en/rankings/baseball-m">WBSC/KONAMI Men's Baseball World Ranking</a> and organising both national and international competitions is another step toward Bahamas Baseball Association's dream of becoming the hub for Caribbean Baseball.</p>
