The Austrian Baseball Federation released a list of 60 players, which are on the preliminary roster for next year’s B-Level European Championship (July 27-August 2, 2015), which once again will be hosted in Vienna. New head coach is Hiro Sakanashi, who is also the player-manager of the Vienna Wanderers. Previous manager Robert Buchelt remains on the staff, but moves into a general manager role. Dan Hall and Arian Quirantes are the assistant coaches. At the end of February the list of 60 will be cut to 30 players. Finkstonball and the Danube Cup will serve as preparation tournaments ahead of the B-Level European Championship.
