History

In 2024, the Federación de Béisbol Aficionado de Puerto Rico launched a program aimed to develop Baseball5 in Puerto Rico, along with the nation's Department of Education. This included the certification of over 850 coaches and the creation of the Schoolboys/Schoolgirls Baseball5 Championship.[2][3][4]

Puerto Rico participated at the 2024 Baseball5 Pan American Championship held in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, that served as qualifier for the 2024 Baseball5 World Cup in Hong Kong.[5] The team lost all its games except for a victory against Mexico to finish the tournament with a 1–5 record, failing to qualify for the World Cup.[6]
