Perfect Game, the world’s leading youth baseball and softball platform, has announced the launch of the Perfect Game Pacific Baseball Championship, an international 15U tournament scheduled for August 7-11, 2025, in Hokkaido, Japan. This prestigious event will feature eight elite teams from across the Pacific region, providing a global platform for rising baseball talents. The tournament aims to showcase top young athletes and strengthen international baseball connections, further solidifying Perfect Game’s influence in the sport.
The tournament will feature teams representing the United States, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, South Korea and one additional team to be announced at a later date. The Chitose Civic Baseball Stadium will host the pool matchups, while the Sapporo Dome – famed home of the Nippon Ham Fighters and former home ballpark for MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani – will serve as the venue for the semi-finals and championship game. Those games will be the only PG games played in a dome stadium in 2025.
“The Perfect Game Pacific Baseball Championship represents an exciting new chapter for youth baseball, providing young athletes from diverse countries with a platform to compete at the highest level while gaining invaluable international experience,” stated Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. “We look forward to witnessing the talent and passion of these rising stars.”
While the U.S. team roster will be announced this summer, Perfect Game exclusively revealed via their social media network that outfielder Joel Vargas, ranked #10 in Perfect Game’s national rankings, has been selected to the team. Vargas (Class of 2028) is a two-time Perfect Game Select Fest participant, having competed in the prestigious tournaments in each of the last two years.
The semi-finals and championship game will be broadcast on PerfectGame.TV and the free PGTV app, bringing the action to baseball fans worldwide. Additional details, including brackets, game times, full team rosters and coaches, will be announced in the coming months.
