The San Marino national baseball team is the national baseball team of San Marino. The team has competed in twice in the European Baseball Championship.[2] The team has not earned points in the WBSC World Rankings since at least 2012.[3]
The team is organized by the Federazione Sammarinese Baseball-Softball and is part of WBSC Europe. Baseball was introduced to the country in the 1960s, in part by Luciano Capicchioni, an English teacher, who also promoted basketball.[4] The sport is also modestly popular in surrounding Italy, and San Marino has a team, San Marino Baseball Club, in Italy's top league, Series A.[5][6]
San Marino had 196 baseball players in 2006, according to the Confederation of European Baseball, the predecessor of WBSC Europe.[7]
