本研究目的是調查臺灣棒球運動當前發展的主要障礙，本研究方法是以焦點團體、深度訪談之質性研究，輔以量化調查進行研究。研究結果發現：一、棒球扎根工作問題：縣市政府及學校應加強對棒球運動之支持度；基層棒球隊球員不足，造成各級學校惡性挖角。二、社會甲組棒球隊問題：因社會甲組棒球隊知名度低，影響企業支持的意願及民眾認同感；政府補助經費核銷執行缺乏彈性、經費來源不穩定；社會甲組棒球隊球員職涯發展制度不完善。三、職棒發展問題：職棒二軍選手數尚未穩定，球員薪資結構不盡合理，教練配置數量不足；現行之租稅優惠制度，對企業贊助職棒球隊之吸引度不高。另一方面，因過去涉賭事件影響，職棒在觀眾心中之正面形象仍有提升空間。四、國家隊組訓機制問題：組訓的主辦及協辦單位分工不明確；各級國家代表隊之組訓標準未有明確規範。五、輔助與績效管控問題：臺灣棒球發展機制中，缺乏具體績效管控機制。本研究結論針對臺灣棒球運動當前及未來發展提出「RSCIC」機制及建議，其中包括「資源」、「支持」、「協力」、「整合」及「控制」等觀點。未來臺灣棒球運動發展應朝向上述五大階層通盤協力合作，再創棒球運動在臺灣的另一高峰。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the barriers of baseball development in Taiwan. In this study, group interviews and in-depth interviews were conducted with individuals, and questionnaire surveys were also used. The findings were categorized into 5 dimensions, and each of them was illustrated as follows: (1) Problem of the baseball launching foundation: local governments and schools need to increase their support. The number of basic baseball players is not high enough to form a good team, which results vicious player recruitment among schools. (2) Problem of the amateur baseball league: the fame of the amateur baseball league is weak, and this affects the support from enterprises and audiences identification. The government subsidy lacks flexibility and stability. Moreover, the career development system for amateur baseball league players is not well-organized. (3) Problem of the professional baseball development: numbers of minor league baseball players are not sufficient. The salary system for coaches of minor league baseball is not reasonable, and numbers of coaches are insufficient. The current favorable tax policies are also not attractive for enterprises and sponsors. On the other hand, because of previous gambling scandals, it is essential to improve the image of professional league. (4) Problem of the national team selection system: the responsibilities of the organizers and the co-organizers are unclear. There are no certain standards for each level of the national team selection. (5) Problem of assistance and effective management mechanisms: there is lack of assistance and effective management mechanisms in Taiwan baseball development. The conclusions of this study revealed the current situation and problems in the development of Taiwan baseball, and formulated a ＂RSCIC＂ mechanism, which includes ＂Resource,＂ ＂Support,＂ ＂Corporation,＂ ＂Integration,＂ and ＂Control＂ viewpoints to improve this situation. The future baseball development stage should move towards these five levels of cooperation, and create another high peak in the development of Taiwanese baseball.
