2025 Northwest Championships - Class of 2026-2030
About
The long-standing Northwest Championship Tournament is the largest event of its kind in the Northwest region, drawing hundreds of the region’s top athletes to compete against each other. It also draws the largest collection of college recruiters and professional scouts to observe a Northwest amateur baseball event. The 27th-annual Northwest Championship Tournament for the classes of 2026-2030 will be held August 7th-10th in Centralia, Washington. This tournament includes Baseball Northwest hand-selected teams from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Utah. The tournament begins on Thursday, August 7th. Each team has a 4-game guarantee, with games beginning on Thursday morning and continuing through placement games on Sunday, August 10th. All teams will go through BAR testing around their game schedule on Thursday.
Social Media Coverage
Each field will have staff members capturing video and metrics for player promotion on social media. We will be adding video, highlights, and pitching metrics to a network of college coaches to best promote players throughout the event. Any metrics from this event that are improved will be posted on a player’s profile after the event.
