The 2025 Micras Baseball Classic was the second edition of the Micras Baseball Classic, an international baseball tournament organised by the Micras Baseball and Softball Federation. The tournament was hosted by Floria during March 2025 and featured 16 national teams.
Five stadiums across five Florian cities hosted matches, with Dodgers Park in Dragonmoor hosting the championship round and final.
Defending champions and world number one Floria entered the tournament as overwhelming favourites and retained the title after defeating Iselande 12–2 in the final. Floria completed the tournament undefeated with an 8–0 record, scoring 100 runs and conceding only 14.
Floria's performance was widely regarded as one of the most dominant campaigns in the history of international baseball on Micras. The hosts defeated each of the three other highest-ranked teams in the tournament, beating third-ranked Sanpantul 9–2, fourth-ranked Castilona 15–1 and second-ranked Iselande 12–2.
