Belgium-born, baseball-bound: Your rookie’s guide to the global diamond

Welcome to my baseball blog—a place where I’ll dig into the magic behind every pitch and roar of the crowd. As a self-professed outsider from Belgium, I only fell under baseball’s spell in recent years.

I’m not a total rookie: sure, I can drop terms like “OPS” or “curveball” into conversation, but half the time I’m just parroting them without really grasping the nuts and bolts. This space is my work in progress—my journey from casually name-dropping baseball lingo to truly understanding the game’s stats, strategies, and timeless tales.

So grab your seat; let’s learn not just what these phrases are, but why they matter. Together, we’ll discover the deeper heart of the sport—one inning at a time.
