Nine teams competed in the final Baseball5 event of the year in Kenya. The Wrecklers won the title without losing a set.

The Mid-Season Baseball5 Championship was played at Multimedia University of Kenya with nine participating teams. The Wreckers won the title without losing a set, defeating Kenyatta University 11-3 and 12-3 in the final of the 17 games played.

The nine teams opened the tournament with a group stage, while eight teams moved to the knock-out bracket. Wreckers defeated Multimedia University of Kenya B; Multimedia University of Kenya A and Kenyatta University en route to the title. 

Kenya is No. 14 in the WBSC Baseball5 World Ranking, with a total of 1,046 points. They were runner-up in the African qualifier in 2022 and finished eighth in the maiden edition of the WBSC Baseball5 World Cup, hosted at El Zocalo in Mexico City, later that year.
