Batangas City Athletics seasons

The Athletics were coming off a run to the Division Finals heading into this season. The team went 12–5 in their first 17 games before losing six of their next eight games. Batangas City made up for it by capping off the regular season with a five-game winning streak, claiming the fourth seed in the South Division. Despite tying their Division Quarterfinals series against the Zamboanga Family's Brand Sardines,[1] they would lose the deciding game 3.[2][3] As of 2023, it is the only season in which the Batangas City franchise did not reach the penultimate round of the playoffs.

The team played most of their home slate at Batangas City Coliseum, with one home game held at Batangas State University.
