TheArgentina national baseball team (Spanish:Selección de béisbol de Argentina) is the nationalbaseball team ofArgentina. The team represents Argentina in international competitions. They are nicknamed "The Gauchos."
Baseball was introduced in Argentina in 1888 with the establishment of the "Buenos Aires Baseball Club" (BABC),[2] formed mainly byU.S. expatriate. The BAFC remained at least for 30 years, but despite its effort to spread the practise of the sport in Argentina, baseball did not gain much popularity among the Argentine people.[3]
In 1925, the Argentine Baseball Association was established to organize and regulate the sport in the country. Three decades later, when the Liga Argentina had already been in existence, operating since 1932 and eventually becoming the "Federación Argentina de Béisbol", the sport had already spread with several competitions in Buenos Aires, and also the provinces of Santa Fe and Salta. Nevertheless, baseball never attracted the crowds predicted in 1917.[3]
The Venezolean diaspora to Argentina helped the sport spread in the country, as part of improving the level of the local league.[2][4]
The national team has won theSouth American Baseball Championship seven times, most recently in 2024 after defeatingBrazil 2–1.[5] Their previous victories were in 1959, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2018.[6] Thanks to this victory, Argentina's baseball team qualified for the2019 Pan American Games, the first time the team has ever qualified.
In 2022, Argentina participated for the first time in theWorld Baseball Classic qualification.[7]
