Baseball is a ball game that uses professional venues and takes turns to attack and defend with bats and gloves. Baseball is widely spread all over the world and has far-reaching influence. It is known as "the combination of competition and wisdom", especially in the United States, Japan, China and Taiwan Province Province of China. Baseball in China can be traced back to 1873, when China students set up the first baseball team in the United States. It has a history of 100 years. However, due to political, economic and cultural factors, it has not been well promoted and developed. At present, the sport and level of baseball in China are always in the initial stage, and the popularization rate is not high.

First, the status quo of college baseball in Dalian

Dalian is an area where baseball started early, developed well and accumulated deeply in the three northeastern provinces. Primary schools have professional baseball training bases, and a group of coaches with rich experience in teaching and competition are contributing to the baseball cause in China. It has delivered a large number of excellent athletes to professional baseball teams at city, province and country levels.

In contrast, the college baseball in Dalian was popularized under the background of the vigorous development of college baseball in China. At present, Dalian University has a baseball major and a college baseball team. Under the leadership of Jia Delong, the former national baseball team member and captain of Guangdong baseball team, he has participated in three national professional college baseball leagues and won two first and one second excellent results respectively.

Second, the factors affecting the development of college baseball in Dalian

1. The government, sports administrative departments and relevant university leaders have not paid enough attention to it.

Compared with the three traditional ball games of football, basketball and volleyball, and the traditional advantages of table tennis and badminton, baseball has a relatively poor mass base, low attention, not obvious achievements and insufficient attention from leaders. Therefore, although Dalian has a good baseball background, the development of college baseball obviously lags behind the south.

2. The capital investment is obviously insufficient.

Because baseball is one of the quite professional sports, it needs a whole set of professional equipment to play. However, from helmets, hats, clothes (inside and outside), gloves, bats and other appliances, the unit price is 1000 or even thousands of RMB. Such expensive equipment has also made many colleges and universities shut it out;

3. There is a serious shortage of college baseball teachers and professional coaches.

No matter what kind of sports, a good coach is very important. Without a good coach who is professional or engaged in professional competitions, it is impossible for team members to directly find and solve problems in the process of teaching, learning, training and competition, so as to effectively and quickly improve students' ability and level and increase their self-confidence and interest in learning. At present, colleges and universities in Dalian basically do not recruit students and teachers majoring in baseball, which leads to the extreme shortage of baseball professionals;
