Albuquerque, N.M. - After four days of high-level baseball at the Jennifer Riordan Spark Kindness Complex, the Upperclass Division is down to four at the 2025 Pathway Albuquerque event.
With 25 college coaches on-site and top programs from across the region competing, Pathway Albuquerque once again delivered elite-level matchups, hard-nosed competition, and standout individual performances. The only thing missing? A repeat champion.
Last year's title winner, Albuquerque Baseball Academy, was knocked out early — meaning we'll crown a new champion on Championship Saturday.
Semifinal Matchups (Saturday at 8:00 AM)
- Rocky Mountain Lobos (Fort Collins, CO): Balanced, composed, and consistent — they've played their way into the spotlight behind strong team play and three selections to the 2026 Prospect Games.
- White Sox Scout Team 17U (Sticks Baseball/Chicago): A talented mix of players from across the Southwest, this group brings speed, pressure, and high-level execution to every inning.
- El Paso Elite 2027 White: Gritty, physical, and relentless — this team has proven it can win in tight spots and wear opponents down.
- Baseball Collab (Northern Colorado): One of the most complete teams in the field — featuring seven players already locked in for the 2025 Prospect Games in San Diego — they play with poise, structure, and intent.
Each of these teams brings a different brand of baseball to the field, and the contrast in styles should make for an exciting Championship Day.
Shout Out to the Full Field
Beyond the final four, this year's Upperclass Division was loaded with talent from top to bottom. Programs brought their best — and it showed. In total, 15 new players earned nominations for the 2026 Prospect Games in San Diego, a testament to the depth and quality across the board.
Whether it was gritty underdogs making noise, big-name teams living up to the hype, or players emerging with big-time performances in front of college coaches — the entire week was a showcase of what Pathway Baseball is all about.
