Baseball is regarded as the national sport in Taiwan. The 2024 Taiwan national team's victory in the World 12 Strong tournament has further increased public interest. The Baseball Association of the Republic of China, which oversees the national team, international competitions, and the allocation of baseball resources, is a strategic high ground for the sports, political, and business sectors. During the 14th General Assembly held on August 2, 2026, Chou Ling-Hsuan was elected as the new chairman after the term of the previous chairman, Kuo Chung-Jiang, ended. Despite initial interest from Kuo Tzu-hui and Lin Hua-Wei, Chou emerged victorious due to the influence of the CTBC Group. The vice chairmen are Lin Hua-Wei, Chung Fu-Hsi, and Chang Ta-Hu.
