The Brazil National Baseball team is the National baseball team of Brazil. Brazil is represented by the team in international competition. The team currently sits at 18th in the world rankings, ahead of South Africa and behind Spain.[1]

The Brazil National Baseball team is controlled by the Confederação Brasileira de Beisebol e Softbol. The team represents the nation of Brazil in senior-level men's international competition and is a member of the COPABE or Pan American Baseball Confederation. Though not a major competitor in the world scene, Brazil has steadily been improving and managed to provide a scare for both the Cuba national baseball team and the United States national baseball team in the first decade of the 21st Century. The Brazilian team is composed in large part of Japanese-Brazilian players with Latino first names and Japanese last names, resulting in some unique combinations. Jo Matumoto, a Brazilian team pitcher, got a chance at Organized Baseball in 2007 where he flourished in the Toronto Blue Jays AA system. [2]
