This weekend, the Baum Bat NW will have two teams competing in the Ultimate Baseball Championship. For background, Baum Bat NW has seven teams who have participated in Perfect Game events resulting in five championships. The two teams competing are Baum Bat NW 14U and 15U. One big advantage these two teams have is being led by Nikolas Lubisich, a retired MLB player who now specializes in connecting youth players with professional athletes from the Northwest. With their coach having seven years in the majors, they will be in good hands with a promising chance to earn another title.

Under this program, many players have been open to great opportunities such as attending top events across the country with over 500 former drafted players and 5,000 college commits. With Perfect Game, they have five championship placements. Their 14U team is 2-6-0 so far in four events this year but with good talent like Tobin Degelbeck as their top hitter with a .533 avg. and Dakota Pound with the team's best ERA at 1.11, they shouldn’t be underestimated. As for their 15U team, their chances are also high as they’re 8-2-1 and No.1 ranked team in their region and an honorable mention nationally. Having a top player of their own, Karson Fankhauser, who sports a 2.33 with 6 punch outs and si leading the team as the best hitter with a .563 batting average.

The 14U team competing this weekend is 7-4-0 right now and in the 2024 California PG Championship Series Tour 3 (OPEN) they won the championship. UBC will follow up that event and they have a good bit of talent with 14 batters above the .313 mark and three hitters tied at .500. As for pitching, there’s three with a 0.00 ERA and one pitcher, Blake Barberena, who's sporting a 0.62 ERA in 22.2 innings.

They’re coached by many past, and or, current college coaches who are preparing them for what’s to come within their careers. One of those leaders is owner Benny Bonilla who has helped send 400+ players to college. The 14U team will be going into their second event in Irvine this year and for their 15U team it will be the first. Looking to add a fifth championship with Perfect Game out of the 18 top three finishes with the program.
