The Netherlands have been historically the best European baseball team, because of the players from Surinam, so that’s quite a feat for Israel.

Aruba and Curacao. I don’t think Suriname qualifies as Dutch anymore.

Mostly players from Curacao and Aruba, which have produced numerous major leaguers.

The Netherlands got to the semifinals of the last World Baseball Classic due to players from the Netherlands Antilles such as Xander Bogaerts, Andrelton Simmons, Didi Gregorius, Jurickson Profar, and others, all eager to play for the manager, Giants bench coach Hensley (Bam Bam) Meulens (who ought to be a major-league manager, IMO.)
