The International Baseball Community (IBC) ranking is a bi-annual recognition of the members of the Baseball Jobs Overseas website who were playing around the globe during the most recent season. For this top batters ranking, we take a look at the 2018-19 winter season where most BBJO members were in Australia while some were in New Zealand and Argentina.

Assigning the Australian Baseball League a rank of 10, we ranked all other leagues from 1-10 in order to measure the strength of performance of each batter. We used the following algorithm for the ranking:

Player ranking points = ((AVG x 9) + (OBP x 10) + (SLG x 8)) x league strength

Other qualifying criteria:

• Must have been a member of Baseball Jobs Overseas who signed overseas using the website as a tool, directly or indirectly resulting in their 2018-19 signing.
• Must have had 60 or more at-bats
• Must be an import player (ie. not a BBJO member who is a homegrown player of the local team)

Congratulations to all of our members for a great season overseas and for doing a great job at growing the game internationally.
