Women's Baseball - The Inside Pitch: Recent Episodes
WomensBaseballInsidePitch
Join Amy McCann, Team Australia alumni (2002-2014) and 6-time WBSC World Cup representative, for a trip around the bases with some of women’s baseball’s elite players and coaches, in addition to a host of trailblazing women making their way in baseball all across the world.
Learn what got them into baseball, how and where they developed their passion for the game, about their challenges and motivations, and what drives them each day.
With just ten weeks until the Women’s Baseball World Cup Group A kicks off in Rockford, Illinois, the Australian Emeralds have officially named the squad they believe will secure their spot in the 2027 finals.
In this episode, Amy McCann sits down with Emeralds Manager Jason "Pops" Pospishil to unpack the meticulous and often difficult process of building a "tournament-style" roster.
Pops pulls no punches while evaluating the defensive lapses of 2023, explaining why "pitchability" and routine plays have become the program's new non-negotiables.
The pair discuss:
The 5-0 Mandate: Why the Emeralds are heading to the US with a mindset of total dominance rather than just "hoping" to qualify.
The 20-Player Puzzle: The logic behind selecting a "tiny" 20-man roster and the tactical bench pieces needed to counteract international pitching styles.
Culture vs. Execution: A candid look at moving the needle from "giving effort" to clinical execution, and why travel and social media complaints were seen as "red flags" in previous campaigns.
The Athlete Evolution: How increased strength and conditioning is creating a new generation of high-velocity, such as two-way stars like Caitlin Eynon.
Data as a Weapon: An inside look at the "copious amounts of video" and advanced scouting led by Ursula Howard to break down the spray charts and "pop times" of opponents like the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The Rockford Legacy: The historical significance of playing in the home of the Rockford Peaches.

This was a fun one! Recorded on the sidelines at the 2025 Queensland State Titles, watching a game and chatting about a part of baseball we couldn’t play without… umpires.I sat down with Alisha Jewry, one of the youngest female umpires going around, to talk about how she found her way into umpiring, getting thrown straight behind the plate early on, and why she stuck with it.We chat about what it’s like being a woman umpiring in men’s baseball, the difference state titles and nationals make when it comes to confidence and learning, and the power of being around people who actually want to help you get better.Alicia also shares what it meant to umpire at world-first girls nationals and to be heading to the US for professional umpire school.“If you love the game, umpiring gives you a whole new perspective. It builds confidence, teaches you to trust yourself, and honestly, it’s the best seat in the house.”🎧 Women’s Baseball – The Inside Pitch

------ Guess what? WBIP is heading on a Euro trip!
That’s right, the 2025 Women’s Baseball European Championship kicks off this week. This is the third edition of the tournament, which started in 2019 and was last held in 2022.
From August 14 to 17, the beautiful town of Hluboká in the Czech Republic will be the centre of women’s baseball in Europe.
Four national teams will take the field, battling not just for continental bragging rights, but also for a spot at the WBSC Women’s Baseball World Cup.
So, who’s in the mix?
We have France — the two-time defending champions.
Czechia — the hometown heroes.
The Netherlands — regulars on the World Cup stage.
And Great Britain — chasing their breakthrough moment.
Over four days, these teams will face off, with the top two meeting in the championship final on August 17.
Though the tournament is still young, it’s already packed with stories.
Back in 2019, France took gold over Great Britain, with Czechia claiming bronze. In 2022, France defended their title convincingly, beating Czechia 13–3 in the final. The Netherlands grabbed bronze, and Great Britain finished fourth.
So, as we look ahead to 2025, the big questions are:
- Can France make it three in a row?
- Will the Netherlands return to the World Cup for the sixth time?
- Can Czechia seize the crown on home soil?
- Or will Great Britain finally clinch their debut World Cup spot?
Host Amy McCann chats all this Dutch women's baseball with players Anouk Vergunst and Kim Schindeler and coach Martin De Koning.
Hear all about the team's vibe ahead of the 2025 Women's Baseball European Championships, dynamics, insights into their training, team building, the unique spirit of Dutch women's baseball, the support from fans and sponsors, and Martin shares how proud he is of the team!

The Barclay Cup is an epic week of baseball honouring Jacinda Barclay, a standout Australian athlete, one heck of a ballplayer, and an even better person off the field, who sadly passed away in 2020.
The Cup brings together female ballers aged 13-16 for a week of fun on and off the field from September 29th to October 5th with teams from Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, and South Australia set to hit the diamond.
After making its debut in Queensland in 2022, before heading to Perth in 2023, Sydney will host the third edition of the Cup.

Welcome to Season 5 Episode 6 of Women's Baseball the Inside Pitch. This season is all about 'Firsts' and today's episode talks all things about the first major documentary on the modern-day international women's baseball community. In this episode, Amy McCann chats with acclaimed sports photographer Jean Fruth who with Jeff Idelson, former president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, has directed and produced See Her Be Her, a documentary on women’s baseball around the globe. The story follows the lives of seven women baseball stars who are at the pinnacle of their game and represent the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Japan, South Korea, Cuba and Uganda. In the intense battle for the World Cup Championship, they want victory — for themselves, for their team, for their countries, and for the sheer love of the game — but their greatest triumph is the path they are blazing for future generations of female players.
See Her Be Her shatters a variety of stereotypes, as the seven players — through perseverance and resilience — push the boundaries of what’s possible both on and off the field. The film highlights their resolve to fight for gender equality for all female athletes.
The doco will make its debut on the MLB Network between Games 2 & 3 of the 2024 World Series.Enjoy!

2023 will see the return of the WBSC women’s baseball world cup for the first time since 2018, so to coincide with this, this season will focus on each of the eight World Cups held since 2004 …….. but with a twist!
A little background before we dive in. Less than 70 Australian women have donned the green and gold for Australia at a World Cup.
I was privileged and honoured to represent Australia at the first six World Cups between 2004 and 2014 and it got me thinking about all the great team mates I had, many of which played one World Cup.
Sometimes I hear people say “I only played one… they only played one….’ And I figured we need to stop using the word ‘only’... cos I reckon that to reach the heights of national team selection, whether it is for one, or 6, or eight World Cups, well, you can play!
So for this upcoming eight-episode series, I will be sharing the stories of some of Australia’s One Cup Wonders. Eight amazing women who represented Australia at one of these World Cups!
For the first episode, we head back to the inaugural World Cup in Canada in 2004 to hear Kelly Gunn’s story.
A right-handed pitcher from NSW, Kelly Gunn shares her baseball journey which took her from a 13-year-old playing with the boys in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire to one of the country’s leading pitchers in the early 2000s including being the winning pitcher in New South Wales’ first ever Nationals victory in 2003 and on the mound when Australia recorded its first ever victory over Japan at World Cup.

Karina Connors
My guest today is Karina Connors, or Sexo, cos when I met her she was Karina Sexton so that is what so many of us still call her.
A born and bred Lismorian (Lismore is on the far north coast of New South Wales just 100km south of the NSW/QLD border), Karina first picked up a tee-ball bat in the 80s before then taking up softball.
Once she switched to baseball as a teenager, Karina begin building one enviable resume which leaves her as the only far north coast baseballer to have been selected for the Australian women's baseball team and the longest-serving Queensland baseball team representative - male or female - with 17 years spent in the maroon!
But beneath the stats is a story of hard work, determination, heartbreak and joy, from three career-threatening injuries to the birth of her daughter in the middle of her career, to a long-awaited World Cup debut after she had officially retired.
Now Karina is still involved in coaching baseball, but more significantly, doing her part to help rebuild a local community and baseball family in her hometown of Lismore, which was recently devastated by the floods of February 2022.
How you can help
From a world-class baseball facility, home of the Australian Little League Championships and Timberjacks Friendship Series, to a disaster zone.

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against gender bias, and take action for equality. The theme for 2022 International Women's Day (IWD) is #BreakTheBias.
In baseball, many women have had to break bias at some point in their baseball journey, whether it has been as a player, an umpire, coach, scorer, in the media or management positions.
On 2022 International Women's Day, I have chosen to feature and celebrate three women in baseball in Victoria, Australia who are leading by example on and off the field.
Jennie Moloney is changing the game off the field from the scorer’s box. A life member and member of the team of the century at the Williamstown Baseball Club, Jennie began her scoring career at her very first game of baseball in 1976. Jennie has since scored at three Olympic Games, is currently one of just five members of the WBSC Scoring Commission, was named the 2019 WBSC Scorer of the Year, and in 2021 was appointed to the Baseball Scoring Director for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
When Janine Thompson saw no women on a list of registered umpires in Melbourne in 2006, she thought would do something about it by umpiring herself. 15 years later, Janine is the only woman currently umpiring in the Baseball Victoria Victorian Summer Baseball League, has umpired countless Women’s National Championships, and has also umpired in Hong Kong and the USA. She was part of an all-women’s umpiring crew at the Baseball Australia Showcase in 2021 which she will do again in 2022.
Abbey McLellan’s journey in baseball has been one of commitment and persistence. Bursting onto the scene as a 11yo playing in Footscray Baseball Club’s Under 16 team, the hard hitting outfielder turned catcher’s career was almost derailed at just 21 years of age when a knee reconstruction ended her 2016 National Championships and World Cup aspirations. However, in a story of never letting go of your dreams, Abbey came back to represent her country at the 2018 World Cup and is now a leader of the Victorian Women’s Baseball team.

S02 E02 - Tahnee Lovering - Australia
When you’ve spent 18 years at the highest level of any sport, one thing is clear, you must be one of the very best in the game.
And Sydney’s Tahnee Lovering is just that.
Tahnee was hooked on baseball from the age of 6 and instantly fell in love with catching.
Selected to make her National Championships debut with New South Wales at 16 as a bullpen catcher, in a cinderella story, just six months later, Tahnee found herself in the green and gold of Australia, and one of the youngest players at the 2004 World Series and World Cup.
Since 2004, Tahnee has amassed one of world baseball’s most stunning resumes including contesting seven World Cups for Australia, winning silver and bronze medals, being selected to the 2016 all-world team, plus a host of national titles with New South Wales.
But between the list of accolades is one of the most inspirational stories of hard work and fierce determination. Tahnee discusses her start in the sport, setbacks, fightbacks, her favourite memories and just how she has spent 18 years at the top in one of the most brutal positions in all of world sport.
Full disclosure, I did put her on the spot by asking her to name the best pitcher she has ever caught too…. and I fully appreciate the magnitude of the question days later after she has messaged me asking me to read a long list of names of people she didn’t say… so that’s on me, I will apologize to everyone she has ever caught too!
Anyway, it was an absolute privilege to share the field with Tahnee at multiple world cups for Australia and be a part of her amazing career as a teammate and rival.
And it is my honour to share her story with you today.
17-year-old Australian Genevieve Beacom made history in January 2022 as the first female pitcher for an Australian professional baseball team.
Gen took to the mound in the sixth inning for the Melbourne Aces in the team's Melbourne Challenge Series game against the Adelaide Giants. She pitched a scoreless inning without giving up a hit at Melbourne Ballpark.
It wasn't the first time however that Gen has become the first girl or woman to break a new barrier or set a new milestone in baseball with the Melbourne pitcher also boasting the honours of being the first woman to pitch in a Victorian Summer League division one game, the first girl selected to a Victorian U16 team and to play for Australia at the Cal Ripken Series.
Listen to Gen's story about this memorable night, about why she chose baseball, why she loves the sport, and what the future holds!

WomensBaseballInsidePitch Up next on The Inside Pitch, I head to Europe, Rotterdam in The Netherlands to be specific, to chat with five-time World Cup veteran Loes Asmus.
Loes chats about her start in baseball at seven years of age, before a switch her sport of choice to softball as there were no opportunities in the Netherlands for girls to keep playing baseball as a teenager.
Loes was part of the inaugural Dutch National Team in 2010, and her journey has included five World Cups, the first European Women's Championships and a trip to play ball down under.

2021 signifies the twentieth anniversary of the inaugural Women's World Series held in July of 2001.
The World Series, which was won by the USA and featured games at the Toronto SkyDome, was the precursor of the Women's World Cup as we know it today.
The first episode in a special three-part series on the World Series featured Donna Mills of the USA, with episode two featuring Canada’s Kate Psota.
At just 15 years of age, Kate was one of the youngest at the World Series, and credits the experience in launching her international career which boasts a record eight World Cup appearances including six medals!
Amy McCann caught up with Kate to talk all things World Series, World Cup, her move from player to coach and more!

WomensBaseballInsidePitch In celebration of the 2021 Women In Baseball Week which runs July 25-31, and in recognition of the 20th anniversary of the inaugural Women's World Series held in July 2001, we bring to you a special three-part mini-podcast series!
The theme of Women In Baseball Week in 2021 is 'Breaking Barriers: Women in Baseball Around the World' and the 2001 Women's World Series did just that!
In 2000, American Jim Glennie made a call to Japanese, Canadian and Australian baseball representatives asking them to travel to Canada to play an international women’s tournament.
The World Series, which was won by the USA and featured games at the Toronto SkyDome, was the precursor of the Women's World Cup as we know it today.
The first episode in this series features Donna Mills of the USA. Donna took part in the 2001 World Series and credits the tournament for launching her baseball career that boasts dual World Cup gold in 2004 and 2006, in addition to World Cup MVP honours in 2006.
Amy McCann caught up with Donna to discuss her beginnings in the game, breaking college softball records, her World Cup feats and what she remembers of that first World Series all these years later!

For Episode 6, we travelled to Ota City, Gunma prefecture, about 80 kilometres outside of Tokyo, to chat with Chelsea Forkin!
From her start as the 2003 Baseball.com.au Women's Nationals batgirl to the 2004 World Cup Baseball All-World Team, onto numerous World Championships with Softball Australia and a USA Pro Softball career, before returning to the Team Australia Baseball in 2016, Chelsea's resume with either bat and ball is one to be envied.
And on July 1, she was named to the Australian Olympic Team 15-woman softball squad for Tokyo 2020!

WomensBaseballInsidePitch Episode 5 has dropped!
After travelling from Australia to the USA, over to the UK, back across to Canada, this week we are off to the land of the rising sun - Japan!
We chat with five-time World Cup rep Risa Nakashima who started her Team Japan playing career in 2002 before going on to win four world titles between 2008 and 2014.
Moving into the coaching ranks, Risa was an assistant coach for Team Japan in 2016 and Team Australia in 2018.
For the 2020/21 World Cup (fingers crossed we see it played soon) Risa will aim to lead Japan to a seventh straight World Cup gold as the Women’s National Team Head Coach.
Enjoy!

For episode three of women’s baseball the inside pitch, we travel to Cornwall, a town located on England’s most southwestern tip to catch up with Amanda, Doris, Hocking.
It was pretty obvious to most who knew her that Amanda was destined to make a difference in the world of baseball.
After getting her first baseball ball and glove at age 7, she took it to school and convinced them to switch from rounders to baseball.
And from little things, big things grow. Over the last few years, Amanda founded Women’s Baseball UK (WB-UK), was named first General Manager of the GB Women’s Team and has overseen the development of the Women's Baseball UK League which begins May 22!
Amanda also shares with us how she credits baseball with saving her life, and we discuss the aftermath of “that post” that dominated social media.
So sit back, grab a cup of tea, and enjoy episode three of women’s baseball the inside pitch.

My next guest for episode two needs no introduction, mainly because to do so would take longer than the podcast interview!
But I wanted to provide a snapshot of what is fast becoming of the most impressive baseball resumes going around, and it is not even close to being complete.
To summarise, as a player she was a collegiate softball player with Villanova, a 4 time World Cup representative for USA Baseball Women’s National Team & won two medals.
As a coach, she took over the Head Coach role of the USA Women’s National Team Coach in 2019 and has been a member of the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball coaching staff since 2019.
And of course, because she is simply a superwoman, she is a firefighter by trade!
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did with Veronica Alvarez.
