Be part of bringing Baseball across the pond!

Baseball is becoming big in the UK and so is Blind Baseball. The UK will be hosting the WBSC Blind Baseball International Cup 2024 at Farnham Park from 27th to 29th September.

The sport can also include sighted players. The second and third base when batting (the clappers), and when fielding at a second base (the catcher). The remaining five players wear eyeshades.

Running after hitting the ball trying to reach the bases gives you full freedom of running independently with the help of an audio bleeper.

Adaptations and equipment

• Eyeshades
• Audible baseball balls
• Baseball or softball bats
• Baseball gloves
• Drop down bases
• First base bleeper
• Second and third base clappers with different sound to orientate players, to differentiate and to save confusion
