 Starting Pitchers Holland Series & Bottom-4 Pool
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
Coming Thursday-evening (August 28), the Bottom-4 Pool continues with its third (and final) round of games.
This Pool closes on Sunday.
On Saturday, the best-of-seven Holland Series opens.
In the 40th Holland Series, reigning champion Curaçao Neptunus and HCAW will meet.
Last season, they also faced each other in the Championship Final, as they did in 2022.
Last year, Neptunus swept HCAW, 4-0.
Overall, it will be the eleventh time that these teams from Rotterdam and Bussum will play against each other in the Final.
Beneath are the announced (probable) starting pitchers for the Holland Series and Bottom-4 Pool in games beginning on Thursday-evening, August 28.
As always, these pitching assignments can change on game-days.
