MAZATLAN, Mexico -- The world governing body for baseball and softball, the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), today announced an agreement that assigns the broadcast rights of the 2014 15U Baseball World Cup, within the Americas, to AYM Sports.
The most elite selection of 15-year-old baseball players in the world will be representing their countries in the II U-15 Baseball World Cup -- the highest level of competition in baseball for this age group -- from today (31 July) to 10 August across Sinaloa, Mexico.
The new agreement will also see AYM Sport produce the majority of the U15 Baseball World Cup's eighty-three contests for broadcast across AYM Sports' six television channels and online digital/mobile platforms, which have a potential broadcast reach of more than 62 million households and online/mobile users across the Americas.
