Superpesäs

Superpesis is the premier level of pesäpallo, the Finnish national sport. It is a professional baseball-like game played in Finland, with teams competing in men's and women's leagues. The game involves two teams, each with nine players, and is played on a diamond-shaped field. One team bats, trying to score runs by hitting a ball and advancing around a series of bases, while the other team fields, attempting to get the batters out. Superpesis operates under the Finnish Pesäpallo Association and is the highest level of competition in the sport.

The Superpesis season typically runs from late spring to early autumn. Matches are played in a best-of-three or best-of-five format depending on the stage of the competition. The regular season culminates in playoffs, where the top teams compete for the Finnish championship. Winning the Superpesis championship is considered the pinnacle of achievement in Finnish pesäpallo. The sport's popularity in Finland is significant, with Superpesis games drawing considerable crowds and media attention. The game is known for its fast pace, strategic elements, and unique rules compared to international baseball.
