Fritz Ackermann, president of the KZN Baseball Federation said that following a comprehensive evaluation process, the players selected for the national squad were recognised for their dedication, commitment and performances throughout the selection period.

“The tour to France will provide valuable international competition as the team continues its preparation and development ahead of future international events.”

Toti Cardinals that were selected for the squad include Dylan O’Brien, Vince Deyzel and Rob Ackermann.

The squad will continue with its remaining training camps, assessments and preparations before the final travelling team for the France tour is announced in the coming weeks.

“The South African Baseball Union congratulates all selected players and extends its appreciation to the coaches, provincial unions, clubs, families and supporters who continue to play a vital role in the development of the national programme. The Union wishes the squad every success as they prepare to proudly represent South Africa in France,” said Ackermann.
