Oldest Player on Australia's Baseball Team | Melbourne News
Description
At 37, Jess Johnson is rewriting baseball history as Australia’s oldest player and first-ever female pitcher for the Emeralds, debuting at the Women’s Baseball World Cup. A graphic designer by day and lifelong athlete by night, she’s returned to elite training just three months after giving birth — and says motherhood has made her more relaxed, fun-loving, and focused. Facing powerhouse rivals like the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in a stacked Group Stage, Johnson’s mission is simple: help Australia earn a medal. With an average squad age of 25 and seven rookies, the Emeralds kick off July 23 against Mexico — and Johnson’s story proves age, motherhood, and grit can all be part of the game.
