History

Baseball is not as popular in China as it is in other Asia-Pacific region countries. However, thanks to softball and Baseball5, the sport is becoming more popular, especially among the youth. China fielded its first youth Baseball5 team in the 2023 Youth Baseball5 World Cup played in Turkey.
China first participated in the 2024 Baseball5 Asia Cup held in Seoul, South Korea. The Chinese team finished the opening round second in its group with a 2–1 record, behind Japan. In the knockout stage, China defeated Malaysia in quarter-finals, but lost against Chinese Taipei in the semi-finals. China claimed the bronze medal after defeating hosts South Korea in the bronze medal game 2 sets to 0, qualifying to the 2024 Baseball5 World Cup.
