The Northwest Bandits Baseball Club is a notfor-profit educational organization under IRS code 501(c) (3). The goal of the club is to provide the highest level of competition and the highest caliber of coaching to prepare serious baseball players for high school baseball.

Founded in 2003 by the Vandiver family and Ray Atkinson; the original Bandits Team were coached by Mike Vandiver through the age of 14. A very talented group of kids, they all went on to play for 18U teams as 16 yr olds; along the way, winning or placing in several state and national tournaments.

Staveskie

Today's NW Bandits Baseball Club consists of a very impressive roster of 13 to 16 year old players. Top talent from several elite teams around the Seattle Washington region, as well as 2 talented players from New Zealand.

This year, the 16 u team will compete in the newly formed Elite League as well as several nationally ranked tournaments providing our players with the highest level of competition anywhere in this age group.

It's exciting to be a part of a team with such a rich and successful baseball history...proud of the past and looking forward to the future!

I have observed that baseball is not unlike war, and when you get right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery.

The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage of weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another ~Proverbs 27:17

"The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again."

- James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams (1989)

"I really love the togetherness in baseball. That's a real true love."

Sportsmanship "Ya Gotta Believe!"

-Tug McGraw

Sportsmanship I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy."

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

The Merchants jumped out with 5 runs in the first and hung on late, as the Bandits loaded the bases and brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the sixth. However, Nick Johnson came out of the pen and thwarted the rally with a punchout. He allowed one hit in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the save.

Had an umpire in our game last night call a 45 foot bounce pass/curveball (that bounced up and over the plate)... a strike. Claiming, "If a ball bounces and hits someone, that is a HBP..." Correct bud good job, "and if it bounces and is over the plate it is a strike."

WRONG. Thankfully a few pitches later our left fielder Steven Petrie took a pitch deep and gone. See something new every day. ~ Tyler Rice 15
