Cuba remains at the top of the world in Baseball5

Pully, Jan 1 - The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) announced today that Cuba retains its throne in the World Ranking of Baseball5, reaffirming its global dominance in a sport that continues to expand its boundaries.

This news confirms what the pulse of the diamond has already been indicating: Cuba continues to rule the universe of Baseball5 with authority, talent, and a consistency that spans generations.

This WBSC update places the island at the top with 5,827 points, following a season where the growth of the sport reached historic figures, with 68 national programs registered.

Cuba's leadership was primarily sustained by the impeccable performance of the youth team during the World Cup held in Tepic, Mexico, where they successfully defended their title and earned the crucial thousand points that solidified their privileged position.

It was a demonstration of character, rhythm, and competitive heritage, further supported by accumulated results over the past four years.

Trailing Cuba is Japan, firmly in second place with 4,527 points, followed by France, the European champion, with 4,375. Chinese Taipei, boosted by its silver medal in the Youth World Cup, climbed to fourth place with 4,149 points, while Tunisia rounds out the top five with 3,606 points, reflecting a silent yet effective consistency.

The ranking also highlighted the global growth of Baseball5. Turkey burst into the top 10 following its impressive youth performance; Puerto Rico had the biggest rise of the year; Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Greece, and Romania made significant advancements that confirm the expansion of the sport beyond its traditional strongholds.

At the top, however, the Cuban flag continues to fly high. With every solid hit against the ball and every point scored, Baseball5 continues to speak with a Caribbean accent and emphasizes a truth that is once again written today: Cuba remains the benchmark of the world. (Source: Prensa Latina)
