When Finnish expertise, passion, and top-level athletes come together, something truly special is created.

We embarked on this journey out of a passion for sports and a desire to take Finnish expertise to the world. Our journey began in 2022 at the initiative of the Finnish Olympic Committee, when they decided to bring softball to Finland, and a group of top Finnish Baseball (pesäpallo) players took on this new challenge. In just a few years, our team has developed to the point where it can compete competitively at the international level.

The journey has required grit, courage, perseverance and a desire to learn new things – the same values that have always driven Finns forward. We wouldn’t be here without the support and guidance of the Finnish Olympic Committee and the Baseball Association.

Our players live all over Finland (and a few abroad)
