In the recent world rankings of baseball teams we found the Philippines ranking number 28- one step behind Indonesia. Thailand ranked #22. An interesting ranking was Pakistan #21.
The rankings give weight to major world wide events such as the World Baseball Classic, World Cup, Olympics. Continental events earn points subject to the number of top ten ranked teams participating. The American region (COPABE) and Asian region (BFA) earn maximum points because they meet the requirement of three top ten teams. Europe gets half the points because they have just one top ten team- Netherlands. The Southeast Asian Games yields one forth the points with no top ten teams.
