Riccardo Fraccari (born 30 May 1949 in Pisa, Italy) is an international sports administrator who is the current president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). He was previously president of the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) from 2009 to 2013.
Fraccari was elected as president of the IBAF in December 2009,[1] succeeding American Harvey Schiller, and immediately set out to hold merger discussions with the International Softball Federation. He spearheaded negotiations to consolidate international baseball and softball to establish and successfully launch the WBSC in October 2012,[2] uniting baseball and softball's global movements and streamlining the two sports' efforts to return to the Olympic Games. He was elected the first president of the WBSC in May 2014,[3] and was re-elected in July 2022 to serve a second seven-year term.
