Sources. 2026 squads: WBSC preliminary team rosters (official PDF). Prior caps and every stat line: WBSC Europe official event stats and team rosters. Career lines are recomputed from raw counting stats across the events each player appeared in, never averaged from averages. ERA and strikeout rates are per seven innings.
The join. WBSC player ids are event-scoped, not global (the same athlete has a different id at each championship), so continuity is matched on country, surname and given name, then confirmed by birth year. Tap any player to see her source pages.
