2019 European Baseball Championship

Based on Team Israel's performance in the 2016 competition, Israel did not need to compete in the C-Level qualifier and competed instead in the B-Level qualifier in 2017. Israel played in Pool 1, in Belgrade, Serbia, from 24 to 29 July 2018. During the tournament, Israel played Switzerland, Bulgaria, Austria, Greece, and Serbia. They went 3-2, which was enough to qualify them for the group championship game against Austria, which they lost 12-2.

They were then sent to another group stage with teams from the C stage and other teams that did not yet qualify. They were assigned to Pool B, which featured 12 teams competing in two groups of 6. The two group winners faced off in a playoff for the last qualifying spot for the 2019 European Championship. In their pool, Team Israel competed against Russia, Ireland, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece. [13]

The team played in the 2019 European Baseball Championship - B-Pool in early July 2019 in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, winning all of five of its games and advancing to the playoffs against Team Lithuania in the 2019 Playoff Series at the end of July 2019 which it won and thus qualified for the last qualifying spot for the 2019 European Baseball Championship. [14]

In preparation for Baseball at the 2020 Summer Olympics, 10 American baseball players made Aliyah in 2018 in order to qualify under the citizenship requirement for the 2019 European Baseball Championships and the Olympics. The players were Corey Baker, Gabe Cramer, Blake Gailen, Joey Wagman, Alex Katz, Eric Brodkowitz, Jonathan de Marte, Jon Moscot, Jeremy Wolf (who lives in Tel Aviv), and Zack Weiss. [15] [16] [17] They were followed in 2019 by Danny Valencia, Ty Kelly, Nick Rickles, Ben Wanger, and Jeremy Bleich. [17] [18]

In Round 1 of the 2019 European Baseball Championship, Israel went 4-1 (defeating the Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany, and Great Britain while losing to the Netherlands). The team thereby advanced to the Championship's eight-team playoffs, with Mitch Glasser leading all Championship batters in runs with 7, and Blake Gailen tied with Germany's Marco Cardoso for the lead in hits, with 8. [19] In the Championship playoffs, Israel defeated Team France in the quarterfinals, lost to Team Italy in the semi-finals, and came in fourth. [20]
