Former six-time Women’s World Cup competitor turned national broadcaster, Amy McCann brings more than 25 years of elite playing experience, plus women’s baseball international and national commentary. 

Whether calling a gold medal game or breaking down tactical adjustments, Amy’s style is clear, accurate and story-driven. She combines technical insight with lived experience, helping both knowledgeable fans and new audiences connect to the game.

Having competed in six Women’s World Cups as a player, she is passionate about helping tell the next chapter of the tournament’s history from behind the microphone.

Playing background

Amy represented Australia from 2002 to 2014 and was one of just six players globally to compete in the first six Women’s Baseball World Cups. An outfielder and leadoff-style contact hitter, she played a key role in Australia’s silver medal campaign in 2010 and bronze in 2014, with the team also finishing fourth on four occasions. 

She was twice named to the All-World Team (2004, 2006), won seven national titles with Victoria, and in 2025 was inducted into the Baseball Victoria Hall of Fame.

Broadcast Background

Since transitioning behind the microphone, she has built an extensive broadcast portfolio across Australia’s premier women’s and pathway events.

Amy is confident in play-by-play, analyst and solo roles, and is experienced working in both two- and three-person booths across multi-day tournament coverage.

She began her commentary career in 2021 at the inaugural Women’s Showcase Series in Adelaide, at Australia’s first semi-professional women’s baseball series.

She is now considered the “voice of women’s baseball” in Australia.
