Israel

Israel is a minor baseball power. The Israel Baseball League was the first attempt at a circuit in the country. It sent a team to the 2020 Olympics - primarily composed of Jewish American players who obtained Israeli citizenship, led by Ian Kinsler and Danny Valencia, but with four native-born players.
