In Season 6, we travel around Australia's diamonds chatting to the people, clubs, organisations and players doing great things down under for Aussie women's baseball.
For episode 2, we talk all things The Barclay Cup, which 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.
But what does it all mean, what impact has the event had? A lot and huge is the answer I got when I chatted with three people who will be making it a trifecta of Barclay Cups this year.
Laura Neads, one of Jacinda's best mates who also played alongside her at the highest level for Australia who will be coaching the NSW Ball-hers team.
Kendra Rutgers, one of the country's most exciting young prospects, who will be repping it for the Victorian Dingoes.
Dion Thiele, one of the amazing coaches giving their time to girls and women's baseball in Australia.

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 womenâs 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 â for themselves, for their team, for their countries, and for the sheer love of the game â 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 â through perseverance and resilience â push the boundaries of whatâs 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! -
