Twins Oosterhout is baseball and softball club based in Oosterhout, the Netherlands. The Twins have played in the Honkbal Hoofdklasse since 2016.[1] The team plays its home games at Slotbosse Toren Park.[2]

Former Rakuten Golden Eagles pitcher Keiji Uezono played for the Twins in 2016.[3][4] He went 4-1 with a 1.68 ERA in 59 innings pitched.[5]

In 2021 the Twins began a exchange program with the Ibaraki Astro Planets of the Baseball Challenge League.

In the future the Twins will also be able to send players and/or coaches to the Astro Planets to participate in a full Baseball Challenge League season.[6]
