Spain national baseball team

The Spanish national team won the European Baseball Championship in 1955. In 1992, it took part in the Olympic Games, held in Barcelona.

In 2013, they qualified for the first time for the World Baseball Classic. They lost all three games against Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.

Spain competed in the 2019 European Baseball Championship, coming in third to win a bronze medal. Among the players who competed for it were Engel Beltré, Rhiner Cruz, Ricardo Hernández, Fernando Martínez, Leslie Nacar, Antonio Noguera, and Blake Ochoa.{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-em.de/statistiken-c89861|title = Statistiken der Baseball-EM 2019 — Baseball EC 2019}} With this achievement, Spain qualified again for the final qualification stage of the 2020 Summer Olympics, but it failed to qualify by finishing fourth.[http://www.jewishbaseballnews.com/retired-shmired/ Retired, shmired | Jewish Baseball News][http://www.jewishbaseballnews.com/mlb-monday-august-26-september-1-2019/ MLB Monday (August 26-September 1, 2019) | Jewish Baseball News]

In 2023, Spain became European champions again at the European Championship, 68 years after their first title.[https://www.wbsceurope.org/en/events/2023-european-baseball-championship/news/spain-is-baseball-european-champion-2023/ Spain is Baseball European Champion 2023 | WSBC Europe]
