The Asian Baseball Committee hopes to increase awareness of Asian baseball by producing and distributing committee newsletters; creating a website; encouraging serious studies of Asian baseball by helping researchers network; encouraging members to publish their studies in the SABR journals, and eventually holding symposium at the annual SABR conventions.
