Baseball United

WE GOTTA MOVE. Success as an entrepreneur and winning as a startup are contingent on your (and your team’s) ability to consistently do great work at an elite pace. With less resources, fewer people, and less margin for error than bigger companies, you simply cannot afford to be slow. And you definitely can’t get behind. Especially when your work is centered on hard dates, like ours as a professional sports league whose business is built around signature events. Most people cannot handle this speed. And then, when you add in the high volume of work and high intensity environment that comes in the homestretch of your busiest seasons, along with that requirement to move fast.. things/plans/opportunities/people start to break. Is it pleasant? No. Is it necessary? Yes. It’s necessary if you want to be great/elite; if you want to do things people haven’t ever done; if you want to make history… then YES. It is necessary. But it sure isn’t for everyone. This path requires a certain type of mental wiring, and a whole lot of sacrifice. If you can commit to that, then you can go do great things. But only if you MOVE. ⛏️ Baseball United #entrepreneurship #startup #dubai #baseball #baseballunited #besomebody.

Another historic day for baseball here in the UAE. Today, under the leadership of Emirates Cricket Board, we officially announced the formation of the UAE's first-ever National Baseball Team. Baseball United will form, manage, and develop this team and the corresponding National Team program as we continue to grow the game in this region. ⚾ The UAE National Team will take the field for the first time just one month from now at our Baseball United Arab Classic tournament here in Dubai (November 7th - 10th). The roster will consist of UAE residents, following World Baseball Classic eligibility rules and regulations. This would not have been possible without the vision of His Highness Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Emirates Cricket Board, and the ongoing support of Vice Chairman, Khalid Al Zarooni and General Secretary Mubashshir Usmani. Thank you and the entire ECB for your partnership. We are also grateful to Roger Duthie for his ongoing leadership in building the baseball community of players and fans in the UAE. Roger will be a key part of the staff for the National Team program. While our professional league continues to be our core business focus, we believe the most powerful way to truly grow the game is through the development and enhancement of national team programs in this part of the world. After three years of working on the ground here in Dubai/UAE, we could not be more excited and proud of this significant milestone. Congratulations to everyone on our BU team, and thanks very much to John Miedreich for your partnership as we worked to make this happen. See you on the field - at our BU Ballpark - in November!! 🙏⚾❤️

For Arabia Wolves outfielder Connor Panas, representing his country is the ultimate honor—and baseball is a game without borders.
