It's got quite a large following in Australia, my brother played baseball for many years and I think the following in Aus may have something to do with the popularity in Asian countries (Australia is very close to Asia). I remembered when he played they state and national teams were always going to places like Japan and Korea and playing teams from there.

But it's nowhere near as big as Aussie Rules Football, the NRL, netball, tennis, or other sports which are very popular here.
