The Netherlands national baseball team is the national baseball team of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, representing the country in international men's baseball. They are the best-ranked team in Europe, and ranked eighth in the world by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). The team is governed by the Royal Netherlands Baseball and Softball Federation, which is a member of WBSC Europe.

Quick facts Information, Country ...

The Netherlands participated in the Summer Olympic Games in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. The team has also participated in other major international baseball tournaments, including the World Baseball Classic (WBC), Baseball World Cup, and Premier12. The Netherlands' best finish was winning the 2011 World Cup, defeating 25-time champion Cuba in the finals. More recently the Dutch finished fourth in the 2013 and 2017 WBC, and were knocked out in pool play in the 2023 WBC.

The team is made up primarily of players from the Netherlands in Europe, and from Dutch territories and islands in the Caribbean that are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Baseball is extremely popular in Aruba and Curaçao, which were part of the former Netherlands Antilles. Some foreign-born players of Dutch descent from the United States and Canada have also been members of the team. The Dutch team has finished in either first or second place in 31 of the 32 European Baseball Championships in which it has appeared. The exception was the 2023 European Baseball Championship, in which the Netherlands placed third.

Team Netherlands will compete against Team Israel, Team Dominican Republic, Team Venezuela, and Team Nicaragua in the 2026 World Baseball Classic from March 6-11, 2026, at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.

History

Early history

Thumb
The Dutch national baseball team in 1937

The Netherlands national team played its first international game on August 26, 1934 in Heemstede; the Dutch side lost to Belgium by a score of 21–12. In a rematch later that summer, the Netherlands notched its first-ever win, defeating Belgium 19–17 in Antwerp. Throughout the 1930s, the Netherlands would play regular games against Belgium and France, accumulating a record of 7–2 against the two opponents between 1937 and 1939, and emerging as the strongest European baseball power.[2]

Joining the European Baseball Federation in 1955, the Netherlands won the 1956 European Baseball Championship. From that point on, they won every continental championship they entered until 1973, a total of 10 consecutive titles.[3] Also in 1956, the Dutch made their first appearance in global competition, appearing at the 1956 Global World Series held at Milwaukee County Stadium in the United States. They lost both games they played, against Puerto Rico (14–2) and Colombia (7–1).[4] Nevertheless, the Dutch team continued to dominate at the European Championship, thanks to the pitching of Han Urbanus, the first Dutch player to be scouted by a Major League Baseball team. (He reportedly declined a contract with the New York Giants).[5]

The Dutch national team began the practice of selecting players from the Netherlands Antilles, the Dutch colonial possessions in the Caribbean, in the 1960s and 1970s, even though the Netherlands Antilles maintained its own national team at the time. This practice was maintained despite complaints from other federations in Europe; the Dutch federation defended its players of Caribbean ancestry as "possessing the nationality 100%". The European Baseball Federation ruled in favor of the Dutch, allowing Caribbean players to make up an integral part of its squad going forward.[6]

World Baseball Classic era

Netherlands at the 2013 World Baseball Classic

2006

Prior to the 2006 WBC, the Netherlands played four exhibition games. They lost two games, against the University of Tampa college team and an Atlanta Braves squad at Cracker Jack Stadium in Kissimmee, Florida.

The Netherlands competed in Pool C, along with reigning world champion Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico, in the first round at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

After losing to Cuba and Puerto Rico in their round-robin pool games, they finished third in their pool and were eliminated along with Panama.

2009

Prior to the 2009 WBC, the Netherlands played seven exhibition games, including games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, and Minnesota Twins. The Netherlands team lost all three games against these MLB opponents.

The Netherlands competed in Pool D, along with 2006 WBC semi-finalist Dominican Republic, Panama, and Puerto Rico, in the first round, again at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico. The team won both games against the strong Dominican Republic team. As result, the team made it through the first double-elimination round along with Puerto Rico. In the second round the Dutch lost to Venezuela and the United States. Therefore, the team was eliminated and finished seventh in the final standings.

2013

The Netherlands competed in Pool B against Chinese Taipei, South Korea, and Australia at Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium in Taichung, Taiwan. The Dutch team won their first game against South Korea 5–0, but lost to Chinese Taipei 8–3. However, the Netherlands defeated Australia 4–1, thus securing a position for Round 1 in the Tokyo Dome to face off against Japan and Cuba.

The Dutch team defeated Cuba 6–2 before facing two-time defending champion Japan, suffering a 16–4 loss stopped after 7 innings due to the mercy rule. This forced a rematch with Cuba. The Dutch narrowly clinched their win against the Cuban team 7–6 to secure a position in the semi-finals, where they lost again to Japan, 10–6. They faced the Dominican Republic in the third-place match, losing 4–1. The Netherlands finished fourth in the tournament.

2017

The Netherlands, ranked ninth in the world, included major league stars, many of whom were raised in islands in the Caribbean that are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The players included All-Star shortstop Xander Bogaerts (from Aruba), 20-home-run hitter shortstop Didi Gregorius (born in the Netherlands and raised in Curaçao), 20-home-run hitter second baseman Jonathan Schoop (born in Curaçao), Gold Glove shortstop Andrelton Simmons (born in Curaçao), and infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar (born in Curaçao).[7][8][9] Sports Illustrated wrote that the Dutch team "boasts arguably the most talented infield in the entire tournament."[9]

The Netherlands lost to Israel, 4–2. In what NBC reported was thought to be the tallest batter-pitcher matchup in baseball history, the Dutch team's 7-foot-1-inch (2.16 m) pitcher Loek van Mil walked Israel's 6-foot-8-inch (2.03 m) first baseman Nate Freiman.[10] The Dutch then beat South Korea (5–0) and Taiwan (6–5).[11][12] Along with Israel, which finished first in the pool, the Netherlands qualified for the next round, in Japan.[13]

In the second round, an extra innings loss against Japan was followed by two mercy rule wins over Israel and Cuba. Together with Japan, which had finished top of the pool, the Netherlands advanced to the championship round. All-Star closer Kenley Jansen joined the Dutch team for the championship round.

The Netherlands semifinal match against Puerto Rico ended in a loss with an 11th inning walk-off sacrifice fly by Eddie Rosario. The final score was 4–3. Outfielder Wladimir Balentien was chosen in the All-WBC team after leading the tournament in hits, home runs, and RBI.[14][15]

2023

After two runs to the prior WBC semi-finals, the Netherlands failed to advance past the first round in 2023. All five teams in its pool finished with a 2–2 record, but Cuba and Italy advanced on tiebreakers while the Dutch, Chinese Taipei, and Panama were eliminated.[16]

2026

Team Netherlands will compete against Team Israel, Team Dominican Republic, Team Venezuela, and Team Nicaragua in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. The competition will start March 6-11, 2026, at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida, in Pool D.[17]

Five-time All Star Andruw Jones will manage Team Netherlands at the 2026 World Baseball Classic.[18] Infielder and 4x All Star Xander Bogaerts and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela have both committed to play for the team.[19]
