Before the start of the UAAP Season 75 baseball tournament, the Ateneo Blue Batters went again to Taichung, Taiwan during the semestral break of academic year 2012–13, for an intensive training at the Si Yen Baseball School. This training was productive as the Blue Batters swept the first round of the elimination for the second consecutive year, going 5–0. They beat all their opponents in convincing fashion: Adamson 15–3, La Salle 15–7, UP 14–6, UST 11-3 and NU 9–2. The Blue Batters made it to the Finals as the top seeded team with a win-loss record of 8–2, their best finish in the UAAP. In the Finals, the Blue Batters beat defending champion NU in their best-of-three series to win its first UAAP baseball championship after a 35-year title drought. In the deciding game 3 of the Finals best-of-three series, the Blue Batters shut out NU, 4–0. This was a statement made by the Blue Batters that they have not forgotten their last year's loss to NU in the deciding game 3 of the Finals.
