BBA Looks Ahead After Historic Year For Bahamian Baseball

The Bahamas Baseball Association is coming off a landmark year, and is looking forward to further expansion locally and internationally.

The momentum from 2025 carried over into 2026 with the staging of the country’s first-ever high school baseball national championships.

BBA President CJ Mckenzie called the event a major step for the sport, saying the tournament created a national platform for student-athletes, and looks to further expansion within family islands.

On the international stage, Mckenzie also pointed to The Bahamas climbing to number 40 in the World Baseball Softball Confederation rankings, the highest position in the country’s history, noting that the rise reflects improvements at every level.
