[3][4][5] The Superpesis is run by a limited company owned by the Finnish Pesäpallo Association, with Olli Aro as a chief executive.

[7][8] Most popular in semi-urban and rural municipalities, along with some notability in larger cities like Tampere and Oulu, the pesäpallo matches gain a significant number of attendances compared to the population in the area.

The winners in men's league are: Sotkamon Jymy (19), Vimpelin Veto (4), Kiteen Pallo -90 (3), Joensuun Maila (2), Oulun Lippo (2), Imatran Pallo-Veikot (1), Hyvinkään Tahko (1), Pattijoen Urheilijat (1) and Manse PP (1).

Only three clubs have played in every season to date: Hyvinkään Tahko, Kiteen Pallo -90 and Sotkamon Jymy.

The sport had long drawn its strength from the countryside and village game culture, but with urbanisation, the rural population was dwindling and pesäpallo needed a new direction.

[11] Superpesis Oy was set up as the marketing organisation for the men's and women's main league clubs.

At the same time, work began on improving conditions, including the development of match venues, the introduction of sand artificial turf fields and the construction of pesäpallo stadiums.

[10] The marketing of pesäpallo was aimed at strengthening the sport's identity by emphasising its local character and roots.

The aim was to bring baseball to the big cities, with the names of localities appearing in the league table instead of clubs.

[10] In the development of the game, the number of matches was increased, and new elements were introduced: additional batters (1985), play-offs (1987) and tie-breaks (1990).

Pesäpallo evolved into a top sport, and the quantity and quality of training reached a high level.

With the new Superpesis, pesäpallo also gained a new dominant team when Sotkamon Jymy won the Finnish championship for the first time since 1963.

Sotkamon Jymy was regularly ranked in the top three or higher for eight years and won six championships during the decade.

[12] In the 1990s, pesäpallo became a nationwide phenomenon, with Superpesis becoming the most popular summer ball game in terms of viewership.

"[12] The incident led to the loss of television coverage of Superpesis, and in the early 2000s, the value base and foundation of the sport was rebuilt.

[10] In 2010, Superpesis experienced a new boom, which was significantly demonstrated by Jere Dahlström' s shot that clinched the championship for Vimpelin Veto being voted the most heartwarming sporting moment of 2010.

Sotkamon Jymy won the Finnish championship five times in a row between 2011 and 2015, always defeating Vimpelin Veto in the final.

Vimpeli beat Sotkamo in the finals in 2016 and 2017, while Joensuun Maila won bronze in five consecutive years from 2013 to 2017.
