At just 21, Jack Besgrove has already carved out a name for himself in the fastpitch world. Pitching for the Gremlins (both in 2024 and continuing into 2025), this Australian phenom hails from Orange, New South Wales—where he first picked up a softball at the tender age of four.
Men's fastpitch softball will be one of the featured sports at this year's Masters Indigenous Games being held in Ottawa, ON August 14-17.
