AllStar Day 2017 was held on Easter Monday and brought together hundreds of fans in Wales city from all over Austria. The team of Austrian Baseball League (BLA) was much stronger in offensive position than the U23 National Team. This sport event became an excellent preparation for players and organizers before the U23European Championship, which will be held from 7 to 9 August in Wales.

The U23 team seemed to have a lack of confidence during the first game. Players should improve their skills in pitching and on the defensive position during the next months. The players of “AllStars” team received a victory in the first game with the score 13:6.

The U23 National Team has failed again in the second game. But this time the athletes were more confident during the match. The strong players on offensive position from “AllStars” once again caused a lot of troubles for the opponents but U23 baseball players were ready and made a score. Championship organizers had to stop the game because of heavy rain during the first inning with the score 7:4.

“It was a really great pleasure for me to coach the “AllStars” team. They really deserve the title of the star team. All players have a high level of professionalism and know exactly what they have to do on the field. This made my job much easier”, – Chad Scheilz, the manager of the team noted.

The coaching staff of the U23 National Team will have a difficult task in the next few days. They must choose the best players and also reduce the list of players for the European Championship. The Cup of “Donaupokal” is the next important tournament for the U23 athletes. The event will take place in Bratislava on May 1. It was extremely tense weekend for the manager Clemens Cickocki: “Despite awful weather, many players have shown the desire to be in the final roster. And it became clear for the coaches about the talent of players and which position will be better for players in order to display their potential”.
