In recent years, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has proposed to "slim down the Olympics" for the increasing number of summer Olympic competitions, so the idea of reducing certain sports events emerged. Therefore, the 30th Olympic Games held in London in 2012, baseball and softball became the targets of being cut.
Although the apparent reason is that "there are too few countries that truly develop baseball", in fact, it is because the increasingly commercialized Olympics are not satisfied with the ratings of Olympic baseball games, which affects advertisers' willingness to provide commercial sponsorship for the Olympics; in addition, the United States, which holds the world's baseball world, is indifferent to Olympic baseball games and is unwilling to officially open up active major league players to participate in the Olympics, so it cannot make Olympic baseball games a The highest-level baseball game in the world; and the construction cost of the baseball game is not low. Often, the Olympic host country must build new baseball stadiums to provide Olympic baseball games. After the Olympics, it is often abandoned, causing trouble and financial burden to the Olympic host country. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee's deletion of the Olympic baseball event is not only a retaliatory action against American professional baseball , but also one of the measures to increase revenue and reduce expenditure of the International Olympic Games.
After baseball was officially excluded from the Olympic Games by the International Olympic Games on July 8, 2005, countries are quite worried about the future development of baseball internationally.

In addition to Taiwan, representatives from Hong Ruihe, acting president of Major League Baseball, also from Australia, Canada, China, Dominican, Italy, South Korea, Mexico , Netherlands , Panama, Venezuela , Puerto Rico , South Africa and other countries participated in the meeting. Japan did not complete consultations with the Players' Union at that time, so no representatives were sent to attend; and Cuba representatives did not attend the meeting for some reason. After extensive discussions among countries, the meeting was determined to hold this international event and decided to be held in March 2006. The name of this international event was named "World Baseball Classic".
