Who We Are

Cape Town's
Baseball Powerhouse

Bothasig Baseball Club is Cape Town's premier baseball facility with over 50 years of excellence. Founded in 1974 at Abe Sher Stadium in the Northern Suburbs, we are the club with the most provincial and South African capped players in history — a legacy that continues to grow as baseball surges across Africa.

We serve 200+ players from Pee Wee (age 5) through to Major League across 8 competitive teams, competing against 27 clubs in Cape Town — a combined league community of over 2,000 active players. Both male and female players are welcomed and celebrated at every level of the club.

Our club's expansion positions us as the biggest baseball facility in the Southern Hemisphere — capable of hosting national and international events, and boasting 3 Major League diamonds at Abe Sher Stadium.

"More than a baseball club — we are a community." Our senior players continuously give back by coaching and mentoring the younger teams. The values of discipline, teamwork, and community service run through every level of the club, from our youngest Pee Wee players to our championship-winning Major League side.

Breaking Barriers

Women in
Baseball

Baseball is for everyone. At Bothasig Baseball Club, we proudly welcome both male and female players at every level — from our youngest Pee Wee players to our senior squads.

Women's baseball in South Africa is experiencing extraordinary growth. South Africa sent teams to the WBSC African Championship in Zimbabwe (December 2025) — with U15 and U18 girls' international series also being played. These players came from various clubs across the country — a testament to the sport's growing national footprint.

At Bothasig, we are actively recruiting girls and women to join our U15, U18 and Ladies programmes and train right here at Abe Sher Stadium. If you're passionate about baseball, this is your home. Help us build the future of women's baseball in the Western Cape.

With baseball's trajectory towards the 2028 LA Olympics, now is the perfect time to get involved. The pathway from club training to provincial selection starts here.

Leadership

Coaching & Development

Major League Head Coach
Raymond Tew

Raymond Tew leads our Major League programme with the authority of a player who has lived the game at its highest levels. A veteran of provincial championship baseball who has represented South Africa, Raymond brings rare technical depth and competitive intensity to every session and every game.

His coaching philosophy centres on precision, discipline, and developing the complete player — mentally and physically. Under his guidance, Bothasig's Major League side continues to be one of the most formidable teams in Cape Town's history.

Decades of senior baseball experience

The Bothasig Way

What makes Bothasig truly special is our culture of giving back. Our senior players — many of whom were developed through our own junior ranks — actively return to coach and mentor the younger teams. This creates a continuous cycle of knowledge transfer, community, and pride.

We run specialist coaching across all positions — pitching, catching, infield, outfield and hitting — at the Major League level. Every age group benefits from structured, age-appropriate coaching delivered by experienced baseball people.

From our youngest Pee Wee players to our senior champions, every player at Bothasig receives expert attention — regardless of age, gender or experience level.
