Jordan Ouanyou, the only active minor league position player raised and developed in France, first ever of 🇨🇮Ivorian descent, is off to a solid start in the DSL. He has already almost matched his 2025 total in walks and multi-hit games. High ceiling when he can unlock his power

Zimbabwe announced their preliminary roster for next month’s African Baseball Championship in South Africa. The tournament is a pre-Olympic qualifier. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya will be there with Nigeria likely as well and potentially Uganda and Ghana

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

Italy announced their U23 roster for a friendly as they build toward Premier12 qualifiers this year. An interesting name is 20 year old RHP Meissa Pouye. Very underrated arm in Italy and he’ll look to be the first ever player of Senegalese descent to make Italy’s senior team

Brazilian pitcher Pietro Albanez-Rienzo made his minor league debut on Tuesday in the DSL for Pittsburgh’s organization. He went 4 innings with 2 strikeouts and allowed 1 run. He is the nephew of Andre Rienzo, the first ever Brazilian pitcher in MLB history

Former Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura with his first home run in the KBO. He’s gonna post a huge season in the KBO the rest of the way

@aria_gerson Oregon State was basically the last team in the field in 2007 and hosted Michigan in the super regionals

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

@tangible_uno Max Kellerman made this so much worse and unnecessarily so cause he steered it into something where there is zero comparison

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

There’s going to be several Czech players signing over the next couple years. Czech position players born in 2010 and 2011 right now are really talented. Gonna be a lot of European talents the next few years joining MLB system

[Francys Romero @francysromeroFR]

Sources: Jan Kubelka (second from right), an 18-year-old outfielder from Czechia 🇨🇿, and the New York Yankees are finalizing an agreement during the current international signing period.

Kubelka participated in the MLB Europe Showcase held in Barcelona in April 2026.

Right handed pitcher Tejahari Wilson from Nassau, Bahamas, has yet to allow a run this season for the FCL Red Sox and averaging a strikeout per inning. There hasn’t been an MLB pitcher from The Bahamas in 53 years but Wilson has a lot of raw talent and slowly putting it together

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

A mistake people often make is overreacting to stats from SEC and ACC hitters. The ballparks they play in are launching pads for the most part. This is why guys like Condon/Crews are seen as can’t miss prospects when they are deeply flawed against pro pitchers.

Updated 2026 MLB mock draft: Most likely first pick and latest intel for all 30 teams

Who is rising up your team's draft board? Here's what we're hearing about the first 40 picks.

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

@SheltonMysterio Since May 1st: Bazzana: .311/.398/.476 with a 150 wRC+ and 1.1 fWAR
JJ Wetherholt: .242/.342/.323 with a 93 wRC+ and 0.7 fWAR

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

There has not been a qualified second baseman to have a 150 wRC+ or better as a rookie in 35 years. He is having the second best season offensively by a rookie second baseman in the last 35 years. Not sure people grasp how special Travis Bazzana is

[Always the Jake @JacobsFieldRBW]

If MLB were redrafting the 2024 draft class today, Travis Bazzana would still go #1 overall, don’t @ me

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

I know some players have had better starts to their career offensively like Kurtz but a second baseman who came into today with a 150 wRC+ playing at a position that has 12 qualified players with a 100 wRC+ or better this season. That player is going 1 or 2 every single time

[Always the Jake @JacobsFieldRBW]

If MLB were redrafting the 2024 draft class today, Travis Bazzana would still go #1 overall, don’t @ me

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

@WilfredBergqvi1 Phillies/Dodgers/Yankees/Blue Jays/Padres are basically all after the same players. Everyone else is basically Latin America or bust aside from the Pirates. Yankees top to bottom are a top 2 organization and this investment in Asia and Europe is gonna pay off big time

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

@tangible_uno Reaganomics has had people in a chokehold for far too long

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

Yankees will be signing another European player in an upcoming class, this time from Czechia. There hasn’t been a Czech minor league position player in 4 years. Yankees going heavy scouting and signing European talent in the last year

[Francys Romero @francysromeroFR]

Our May International Notes feature the countries with the most players signed this period, remaining bonus pool budgets, the Korean two-way player who chose the KBO Draft, and a Czech 🇨🇿 OF in agreement with the Yankees.

The Division I baseball postseason begins tomorrow. One of the players to watch is Florida’s Brendan Lawson. The Sophomore could be the first ever Canadian selected #1 in the MLB Draft in 2027

I want a Champion’s League for baseball.

Take the top 2 NPB teams, 4 LCS MLB teams, top KBO team, and top Mexican team and do a single elim tourney in like November.

[Jeff Duda @INTLBaseball24]

@KGsBrokenHand @madfriars @madfriarskevin This is typically a move where teams from Asia from let his agent know they want to sign him to start for them and he asked the Padres to release him cause they aren’t planning to have him on their MLB roster this year
