One Of The Top 12U Teams In The Country: OC Batbusters 2022

OC Batbusters 2022

As a very talented 10u team two years ago,  they played in the OKC TCS tournament during the college world series in Oklahoma City and losing to Diamond Sports Hotshots in the championship game. Also during their 10U season, they beat the Diamond Sports Hotshots in the semi-finals of the TCS Christmas qualifier in San Diego losing the championship game to Texas Chaos.  To finish their 10U season they finished top seventh at PGF Nationals and top three at TCS World Series.

Last year as a first year 12U team, Batbusters 2022  traveled to Orlando Florida and participated in the D9 Inspiration Showcase playing in the 14U division.  Batbusters 2022  had a successful first year 12U season earning a birth to PGF Nationals by winning a qualifier in Portland Oregon and finishing the season off with a top twenty-five finish off at PGF Nationals.

Batbusters 2022  are definitely one of the top 12U teams in Southern California and the West Coast. With receiving a bid to PGF Nationals already Batbusters 2022 will have a little more flexibility with their summer tournament scheduling. OC Batbusters 2022 is a scrappy and very fast team with the speed to put teams on their heels and force a lot of mistakes. This team has shown that they can play with the top 12U teams in the country. PGF Nationals should be fun later this summer.
