History

edit

Club Béisbol Barcelona was established in February 2012 after FC Barcelona decided to disband its baseball section. In the summer of 2011, the management of FC Barcelona implemented financial cuts to improve the club’s finances, which included eliminating the baseball team, deemed "unprofitable", despite the fact that the club had just recently won the 2011 Spanish championship.[4][5]

FC Barcelona yielded its federative rights to the new baseball club so it could play in the División de Honor de Béisbol, with CB Barcelona being considered the spiritual successor to FC Barcelona Béisbol, using the same colors. Likewise, most of the players that had won the 2011 championship with FC Barcelona remained with the new club as well as the manager Jorge Miqueleiz.[6][7]

On its debut season, CB Barcelona won the División de Honor championship, the club finished second during the regular season and defeated the Astros de Valencia in the final series 3 games to 1.[8] The team later participated in the CEB Cup contested in Rotterdam as Spanish champions, finishing with a 2–3 record; they defeated Nettuno and Technika Brno, and lost to the Legionäre, Huskies de Rouen and hosts Neptunus.[9]
