Baseball United has signed two celebrated names from the Dubai baseball scene to the Arabia Wolves roster for its inaugural season.

Shortstop Chris Beyers, who’s been a fixture in Dubai’s Men’s League for several years, and pitcher, Sean Fekete, who starred at Dubai Little League while attending the American School of Dubai (ASD), will take the field this November.

Beyers starred for the Dhahran’s (Saudi Arabia) Little League team that made it to the Little League World Series in 2007 and 2008. and was the final player selected to play in the Baseball United All-Star Showcase in November 2023 in Dubai, meanwhile Fekete, who lived in Dubai for seven years, played Division I college baseball in the United States at Oakland University, and also played for the Hungarian National Baseball Team.

Both Beyers and Fekete played for the UAE National Baseball Team, which was constructed by Baseball United and competed in the Arab Classic Tournament in November 2024.

“We are proud to have two players on the Wolves’ roster who have called Dubai home for many years,” said Kash Shaikh, Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder, Baseball United. “These guys grew up competing on the fields just a few minutes outside of downtown, and now they’ll be suiting up as professionals in our league’s inaugural season in front of their families, friends, and community...

"I know their stories will inspire the next generation of great players right here in Dubai.”

Baseball United, the first professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent, will run from November 14 to December 14, with all games held at Baseball United Ballpark in Dubai.

The Arabia Wolves are one of Baseball United’s four founding franchises, alongside the Mumbai Cobras, Karachi Monarchs, and Mid East Falcons. The Wolves roster includes a mix of international veterans, regional talents, and young prospects.

The Wolves - Dubai’s home team - will play their first game on Tuesday, November 18, against the Cobras, and a total of nine games during the regular season. The season will conclude with the United Series — a best-of-three championship series between the top two teams — held December 12–14 at Baseball United Ballpark.
