The Baseball Digest was in first in line to get a Q&A with new IBAF president Riccardo Fraccari. Jerry Milani spoke to him about a few topics.
Excerpts:
BBD: What are the first things you would like to accomplish in office?
RF: We need to reinvent the structure of our Lausanne office, be more transparent and involve our member federations more on a day-to-day basis. As an international federation we need to be more efficient and professional. I will first learn what the current situation of the office is and will make necessary changes from there.
.
BBD: What do you think the biggest challenges are?
RF: The biggest challenge, again, is changing the identity of the federation. We need to restructure, cut expenses and grow our income through a strengthened relationship with the world’s professional leagues. We also look forward to continuing the ongoing challenge of growing the game of baseball around the world and helping educate players on our sport at a young age and on a grassroots level.
