About World Baseball News
World Baseball News is an international baseball news publication. We cover professional and international baseball worldwide, from Major League Baseball to leagues, national teams, and tournaments across every continent where the sport is played.
The World Baseball News Editorial Team
Many articles on World Baseball News are published under the collective byline "World Baseball News Editorial Team." This byline represents an international network of contributors: journalists, current and former players, broadcasters, league officials, coaches, researchers, and other baseball specialists.
Some contributors publish under their own individual profile. Others contribute under the collective byline for professional, contractual, or privacy reasons, most often because their primary role, as an active player, broadcaster, or league employee, limits how, or whether, they can be publicly credited for outside writing. Regardless of byline, World Baseball News remains editorially responsible for everything published under the World Baseball News Editorial Team name.
What Is World Baseball News?
World Baseball News treats baseball as a global sport, not a single-country one. We cover professional leagues, domestic championships, international tournaments, and national teams, along with the transfers, transactions, statistics, standings, player performances, and developments that come with them.
Why Our Reporting Stands Out
World Baseball News combines professional journalism with first-hand baseball knowledge. That combination shows up in a few specific ways.
Professional Journalism, Baseball Expertise
Our reporting is built on professional journalistic standards, applied by people who understand the sport at a first-hand level, not just from the outside looking in.
Specialist League and Country Reporters
Individual leagues and countries are covered by contributors who focus specifically on that market, rather than generalists parachuting into unfamiliar territory.
Local-Language Sourcing
Where relevant, our reporting draws on local-language sources, interviews, and reporting relationships specific to a given country or region.
Statistical and Historical Context
Numbers are reported with context: how a stat is calculated, what's typical at that level of play, and how a performance compares historically.
Direct Industry Knowledge
Contributors with direct experience in professional baseball, as players, coaches, broadcasters, or league staff, bring insight that comes from having been inside the game.
Coverage of Under-Reported Markets
We give serious editorial attention to competitions and countries that often receive limited English-language coverage elsewhere.
Global Coverage
Our coverage includes major competitions such as Major League Baseball (MLB), Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), and other prominent leagues. We also give serious editorial attention to competitions such as Chinese Professional Baseball (CPBL), the Deutsche Baseball Liga (DBL), French Division 1, the Czech Extraliga, Mexican and Caribbean baseball, European baseball, and other active professional and elite markets. Market size affects how much attention a story receives elsewhere in sports media; it doesn't affect how seriously we report it here.
How We Report
Our reporting approach follows a consistent set of principles, regardless of which league or country a story covers.
Our Contributor Network
World Baseball News is written by a growing international network of contributors rather than a small in-house team. Rather than list every contributor here, which would quickly go out of date as the network grows, we maintain a dedicated page for that. Public specialists who write under their own name can be found on our https://worldbaseballnews.org/about/authors/ page.
