Iran national baseball team

The Iran national baseball team, referred to as "Team Melli" in Persian (تیم ملی بیسبال ایران), is the country's representative in international baseball. Baseball was present in Iran before the revolution through American schools like the Tehran American School, but it declined afterward. The sport was revived in 1991, with around 500 players, coaches, and umpires in the national association. A baseball committee formed in 1992, became a federation in 1993, and operated as such until 2010, when it was folded into the Sports Associations Federation due to the national team's inactivity.

Baseball is now played in 12 Iranian provinces, with a dedicated baseball stadium located in Karaj. From 1994 to 2009, provincial teams competed in an annual national championship. In 2010, this was replaced by a Club Championship League, split into North and South conferences, with the top two teams from each advancing to playoffs. Tehran's Azarakhsh Club, Bushehr's Naderi Club, and Kerman's Mes Club have each won one title.

The national team has entered several West Asia Baseball Cups (including 2012, 2013, and 2015), earning a bronze medal in 2012. Overall, Iran's win-loss record is not precisely documented in widely available sources. The most notable player of partial Iranian origin is Yu Darvish, born in Japan to a Japanese mother and Iranian father, who plays in MLB but has not been invited to the national team. Managers have included Mehrdad Hajian (pre-2009 and 2012–2014), Gerardo Yassel Cabrera Moreno (January 2009), Julio Alberto Hernandez Coste (April 2009), and Toma Irokawa (January to July 2015).

In the 2015 Presidential Cup, hosted by Iran at Azadi Sport Complex, India won, with Iraq also participating; Iran placed second.
