Baseball Softball UK has announced the British National Team for the upcoming Baseball European Championship in the Netherlands. They will be led by manager Sam Dempster and coaches Brian Essery, Darryl Reid and Mitch Evans. The preliminary roster includes 20 players from the United States, UK, Europe, North America and Australia. The tournament will be played from September 7 to 16 in Rotterdam, Haarlem and Utrecht. A couple of days later GB plays in the World Baseball Classic Qualifier in Regensburg against Germany, Czech Republic and Canada. That team probably will look a lot different than the Euros squad.
